Dear Lord; Happy Sunday Father!
Last week Lord, the boys and I were sitting down together watching an old episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Riker and a couple other crewmembers had beamed over to a derelict ship and were exploring, when I looked over and noticed that Aidan was covering his eyes. When I asked him why, he told me “There’s a scary part coming… The music changed.”. Sure enough, the background music had changed to an ominous tone, and seconds later the first alien body was found. That got me to thinking…
What if we had our own “background music” in our lives…
Wow… Wouldn’t that be cool! We could tell when we were headed for dangerous or scary situations, or good news was coming. We’d have warnings of upsetting events, or that what we were doing was destined for a joyous outcome. Through that musical guidance our lives could be focused and directed so we knew what we should do with a better sense of clarity…
And then I realized Father, that we already have that… We have Your Voice.
The “music” of Your Spirit is always there with us; It soothes us, warns us of self-destructive behaviors, comforts us and leads us where our true path lies.
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”” – Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
Such wonderful melodic guidance it is Father, we just need to learn to listen for it in our daily lives.
Thank You so much for being such a Wondrous Conductor, guiding us from one scene to the next in perfect harmony with Your Purpose. I pray that we may all hear Your lyrical prompting each day, and that our Divine Background Music leads us straight to Your Feet. Amen.

Beautiful post! The Holy Spirit is our divine background music and if we listen to that still, small voice, we will always be prepared for what lies ahead.
Thank you Lisa! Such an awesome Conductor He is!
Have a Blessed Day!
Such a great post Phil. He is the Wondrous Conductor.

Love that He is the Conductor of my life…
As do I Allison!
Have a Blessed Day!
Oh, how I love the old Star Treks! Background music would be kinda cool… but that would take away the mystery of seeking His voice and the blessing of hearing it. Amen… “Thank You so much for being such a Wondrous Conductor, guiding us from one scene to the next in perfect harmony with Your Purpose.” Blessings!
We’re Sci-Fi junkies in my house Heidi, so I’m right there with you! Thank you!
Have a Blessed Day!
