Tuned in

I am a fan of classical music and enjoy listening to it on radio, TV, tapes, CDs and my Ipod. Pictured above is the Philadelphia Orchestra from http://www.gophila.com/. At church this past Sunday we sang a worship chorus with "The earth is filled with His glory" in it and I thought to myself there are many people who would doubt that statement. Then I remembered about 30 years ago when we got a pre-owned car which had an AM/FM radio in it. I had heard about FM broadcasting but had never been able to tune it in. I was driving somewhere one evening and decided to try it. Over the air came beautiful music, and I was delighted! Just think, this awesome music had been available for a long time but I had not been able to tune in and hear it.

If we want to be fully aware that the earth is filled with God's glory, we've got to be tuned in to Him. When that happens our entire being is changed! 2 Corinthians 5:17 states, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he (or she) is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" Howard likes to say that Jeremiah 33:3 is God's telephone number - " 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' " In John 3:16-17, Jesus declared "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." That's how you too can tune in to all of God's extravagant love and forgiveness!
