There are times, either in the stillness of a beckoning morning or within stolen moments gathered on fields of busy days, when God’s whispered Word synchronizes to our heartbeat. Heaven folds back as God delivers a chorus straight to our core. It sounds lovely and frightening all the same.
A word. A scripture. A revelation.
Undeniably sent down from the Orchestrator of Life.
Sacred rhythms keep in perfect timing with our soul while His Voice crescendos a melodic tune. God knows our lives so intimately, He harmonizes to thoughts yet sung and moments yet lived.
This God who was, who is and who is to come.
He knows the sounds our soul sways to when clanging symbols and loud gongs threaten to throw us off key.
“Behold I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5)
Like a chorus tucked in the middle of verses, God continually reminded me that 2010 was going to be year of renewal.
He hummed words on the fringes of 2009, when hope stood at the back door and strife barged in the front. In dark, tempest days God’s compositions brought beauty to my ears and assurance to my heart.
“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it?” (Isaiah 43:18-19)
New life.
New heart.
New purposes.
New relationships.
New opportunities.
“See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me." (Song of Solomon 2:11-13)
As our Conductor, God raises a baton to guide us along every bar, measure, note and refrain of life.
As our Composer, God intricately weaves His prose, lyrics and melodies to our circumstances, trials, and situations.
As our Creator, God leads an orchestra of exhilarating verses, upbeat tempos and instrumental interludes to create a symphony in you.
Did God reveal a symphony in your heart this year? Is He composing a word, scripture or revelation for 2011?
