So the other night, one of my friends and I headed to Dollywood with her grandparents to see the lights and a few Christmas shows. Yes, I said Dollywood....doing it up right in East TN. In one of the shows there was a song I've never heard...I still don't know the name of it, but as I sat there, I noticed that it began with the angel that announced the news of Jesus to Mary and Joseph sang first. Then Mary sang by herself, then Joseph, and then all three were singing separate parts that were layered together to form one sound.
I had a moment of realization that God worked in the hearts and lives of individuals to bring about something bigger. God thought enough of the individual to know that they each needed a different word, a different sign, a different time to come to terms with what they were called to do. And because they each heard it in a different way, it came together to complete the bigger picture.
God still comes today...God knows the way we need to hear, the words we must hear, the time that is right...and in that working, God brings about something bigger...the kingdom here on this earth. Isn't that what it all started as? God coming to earth in the form of a baby....God is still coming to earth...through each of us. God takes individuals and layers them together to create a united, beautiful song...will you sing with me?
