I went to a Christmas concert a few days ago. It was a beautiful concert, with all of the old classics, and a few new surprises thrown in there, as well. The fact that it was all in Korean just added an extra layer of beauty to it.
There's something about hearing a familiar tune sung in an unfamiliar language, that just makes you pay all the more attention. You notice the lovely costumes, the faces of rapture of the singers, the gusto with which the musicians play their instruments, the reactions of the crowd around you....all of those little details that you might overlook if you were able to understand everything that the choir was saying.
Our life is like a concert. We can easily think of God as the conductor, and ourselves as the musicians and vocalists. When one person is out of tune or sync with the conductor, it throws off the entire performance. But when everyone's right where they need to be, doing exactly what they need to be doing, it makes a beautiful work of art, indeed.
Was there ever a time when you were completely in sync with God? Are you there now? Or are you trying to make your own beat? The music will happen, whether or not you are playing on key with everyone else. Don't be off your rhythm. Get in sync with God, and the music that your life makes will be wonderful, indeed.

Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.
