We were reminded by Ted Cornell that, as choir members, we can't really appreciate the sound of the choir. He has the position, as conductor, of hearing all voices (and orchestral accompaniment) from his central location in front. Of course, the audience also hears the 'total sound' as well. The ironic thing is that we, as individual choir members, are the ones manufacturing the sound which is blended to form the concert music, yet we can't really hear the complete sound. We hope to get copies of the recording so we can appreciate the concert, as it was heard. Life is like that, as well. As we live out our days before the Great Conductor of life, our Lord, we don't always see how the events and the activities of our individual lives play into the fabric of life...but we can be confident that from the view of the Lord and the Heavenly audience...all things are coming together, just as He has planned to form the eternal symphony. One day we'll see and hear the great performance from heaven, ourselves. Now we see it with eyes of faith.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
blessing,
Rob Smith
