Played by itself, a minor cord on a musical instrument is a strange thing. It is an emotional cord. It sounds darker. It it used when there is a change of scene, or change in emotion in the movies we watch.  And, you never end a song with a minor chord. I read once that Beetoven’s wife Maria, to get him up in the morning, would go downstairs & play a piece on their piano, but she wouldn’t play the last chord, thus leaving the song hang on a minor chord. This would drive Beetoven crazy and he’d have to come downstairs to finish that last cord. Yet minor chords are a beautiful thing when mixed with the major cords. Most every song you listen to has minor chords in them.

Maybe that’s why the Lord see’s fit to place minor chords in our life. Those difficult circumstances, those emotional situations in our life. Those darker days we experience. If we focus just on those, life seems terrible.  But played alongside the brighter cords, its enchanting. Your favorite songs wouldn’t be the same with only major chords. As God’s favorite child, you wouldn’t be the same without minor chords He has perfectly positioned, placed and will continually play into your life! Resonate well fellow instruments.
