“Whisper a prayer in
the morning.
Whisper a prayer at noon.
Whisper a prayer in
the evening,
To keep your heart in tune.”
(Anonymous)
A book I
am reading talks about our need to stay calibrated with God. He talks about a large Philharmonic orchestra
and how all the instruments get recalibrated to the right pitch.
“The oboe sounds a note—A above middle C. To be precise it
is the A that is produced by 440 vibrations a second. Musicians call it A 440.”1
The author connects tuning the musical instruments with our spiritually staying
in synch with God.
From
time to time, I find myself not quite where I should be in relationship with
God. I have learned this happens when I pray on the run or neglect my
devotional reading.
I have
found that I do better when I find things to be thankful for—the little things
that I may have taken for granted in the past.
Recently, I stepped out my back door to help Hubby do a task
the other day and noticed the brightness of the day and the cheery sky with the
puffy clouds. I also noticed the quietness of our yard. We live on a rather
busy street and sometimes I forget about the calm atmosphere we have just
behind our house.
Whenever
we, as God’s children, have times of not feeling ‘in synch’ with Him, all we
have to do is bow our heads, kneel before our Lord, and spend time talking with
Him. If we can’t kneel physically, we can kneel in our hearts.
