Dear Lord; Happy Sunday Father!<\/p>\n
Last week Lord, the boys and I were sitting down together watching an old episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 When I asked him why, he told me \u201cThere\u2019s a scary part coming\u2026 The music changed.\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 Sure enough, the background music had changed to an ominous tone, and seconds later the first alien body was found.\u00a0 That got me to thinking\u2026<\/p>\n What if we had our own \u201cbackground music\u201d in our lives\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Wow\u2026 Wouldn\u2019t that be cool!\u00a0 We could tell when we were headed for dangerous or scary situations, or good news was coming.\u00a0 We\u2019d have warnings of upsetting events, or that what we were doing was destined for a joyous outcome.\u00a0 Through that musical guidance our lives could be focused and directed so we knew what we should do with a better sense of clarity\u2026<\/p>\n And then I realized Father, that we already have that\u2026 We have Your Voice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cmusic\u201d<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n \u201cWhether 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.”\u201d \u2013 Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)<\/strong><\/p>\n Such wonderful melodic guidance it is Father, we just need to learn to listen for it in our daily lives.<\/p>\n Thank You so much for being such a Wondrous Conductor, guiding us from one scene to the next in perfect harmony with Your Purpose.\u00a0 I pray that we may all hear Your lyrical prompting each day, and that our Divine Background Music leads us straight to Your Feet.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Happy Sunday Father!
