Thankful 20...

I am thankful for harmony.

There's not anything I can think of offhand that I enjoy more than good four part harmony.  I love voices blended, complimenting one another, completing each other....connecting to make a whole.

It isn't really logical.  How can sounds that are completely different be so absolutely perfect?

But there is something you can actually feel when perfect harmony happens, you don't just hear it....and you don't just feel the vibrations of your own voice or someone else's.  It isn't just 'pretty'...it is absolutely spiritual, (especially if the message of the song is positive, and even if it is negative, the spiritual aspect of the song's message is still there and is dangerous). 


The harmony of music mirrors what happens in the universe around us. Each aspect of nature compliments the rest, making complete. The cycle of life....


There is another kind of harmony found on the pages of scripture.  Our Bibles contain the complete harmony of God's Voice.  His Triune Deity speaks and sings to us thru what is recorded.  From Genesis to Revelation, the harmony of His Song is perfect. 

I purpose to listen to the entire Song, not just a little phrase or two, not just the lead melody, not just the high harmonious parts, but entirely.



God is so creative.
