Throughout the great concert hall, the mur-
mur of the crowd mingles with the dimly chaotic
combination of woodwinds, horns and strings as
they are fine tuned by the orchestra.
The velvet curtain rises. Immediately all is spellbound.
quiet. Every eye is fixed on the stage as the mae-
stro enters with sure strides, stops center stage and
faces the orchestra, his wand poised in his hand.
The atmosphere is charged with anticipation,
yet not a sound is heard until the maestro gestures
toward the orchestra with a rhythmic flair of his
wand. The concert then begins.

In Harmony With
Master. . .
A Mozart composition swells and subsides
. increases in tempo, then diminishes, as each
musician follows the maestro’s lead, resulting in
harmony and cadence which holds the audience
Likewise, our lives can be more harmonious if
we but fix our gaze on God, avoiding confusion
and chaos, looking to Him for direction each day.
In Romans 8:28, we read “All things work together
for good to them that love the Lord.”
“Praise God in His sanctuary” (Psalm 150),
and live your life in harmony with the Master.
