One of our family's annual traditions that we enjoy is attending Concerts in the Garden with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. It is one of the most relaxing things we do. Sitting in a lawn chair or lying on a blanket listening to world-class musicians play outstanding film scores by John Williams is a great way to spend an evening. As I was enjoying the music and beautiful surroundings again recently, I was reminded of how important it is for members of an orchestra to play together. Each of them are excellent musicians by themselves. They could all play by themselves and it would be good. But how much better it is when they all play the same piece of music together. The harmonies that are produced make for an amazing performance. But even these professional musicians need a conductor to set the tempo and keep them playing together as one. Without the conductor, the performance would suffer. As Christians, we can isolate ourselves and "do our own thing." Or we can accomplish even more when we work together. But we must keep our eyes on the conductor. Jesus is our conductor. Let's follow his baton. We'll sound a lot better when we're in harmony with each other and follow the direction of the Maestro.
