A Beauty To Behold!

Yesterday I spent some time marking bowings in my orchestra music. These were in accord with the bowings our Concert Master desires to be followed in the pieces we will perform. Though it is of paramount significance to accurately play in tune the notes written by the composer -- as well as pay attention to all crescendos, decrescendos, fortes, pianissimos, accents, etc. -- in order to make beautiful music, there is also a beauty in seeing the bows of the violin section all going the same direction. This provides the audience with both an audio and visual experience that is beautiful to behold.

How beautiful such UNITY can also be with the Lord's people.

David wrote. . .
"(1) Behold, HOW GOOD AND PLEASANT it is when BROTHERS DWELL IN UNITY!" ( Psalm 133:1 ESV)

And Paul urged those at Philippi. . .
"(1) So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, (2) complete my joy by being of the SAME MIND, having the SAME LOVE, being IN FULL ACCORD and OF ONE MIND." ( Philippians 2:1-2 ESV)

As we focus together on the Scriptures, to know the truth and be able to recite it -- accurately sharing it with others as God has preserved it for our reading -- is of paramount significance. And to UNITEDLY live the truth out in our lives together in a Christ-like manner is a beautiful sight to God and can be to the world as well. Such an audio and visual experience can be a beauty to behold that can potentially draw others to Him. May our lives come together under God's direction for such a purpose.

Have a great day BEAUTIFULLY JOINED IN TRUTH AND ACTION DIRECTED BY GOD!
