Live in Harmony

 

Harmony with the French Horn
We can't all play the melody line.
Harmonize...together.

          Live together in harmony. In a symphony each instrument has their own part of the score to play—in harmony. I love listening to a live orchestra, picking out the individual instruments and hearing them together blending their sounds. The conductor—the maestro—keeps the players all at the same tempo and blends the levels of sounds to be just perfect. I so appreciate all the musicians’ talents and dedication. Ahhhh. Live performance is superior to anything on television or radio. Will there be music in Heaven…what will it be like? God has an unlimited imagination—so although Revelation only refers to harps and voices, I like to imagine there will be more.

And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together. This great choir sang a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the twenty-four elders. No one could learn this song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. Revelation 14:2-3

Living in harmony is more than just for music. For people to live in harmony they need be willing to accept others and blend their own wishes and desires to encourage—not just tolerate—others.

Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don't argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. Romans 14:1

 

We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. For even Christ didn't live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, "The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me." Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled. ... Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. Romans 15:2-4, 7

Yes. It is good to live in harmony with others, accepting and encouraging them. God loves us—we should love others. Are you living in harmony? Good question for me…and you.

 

How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! Psalm 133:1 NLT

 

I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10

 

Meditate. Consider God’s guidance in scripture.

 

Prayer – Lord God, thank you for Your love and guidance in life.  

 

Verse of Salvation ~ For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. John 3:16-18

 

My gratitude for today: Living in harmony. Watching birds fly—and feeling blessed. Knowing God loves us.
