Perfect Conductor

As a member of the choir, one of the first things you learn is to watch the conductor.  A good director knows his stuff and well he should especially if all eyes are on him!  His one missed cue or stutter step and the whole crowd is whacked except, of course, those who aren't watching the director!

Psalm 33:18 says, "But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, and those whose hope is in his unfailing love." God is always watching those who fear him, those who hold him in reverence.  A young eagle is born with the capacity to fly, but he must be taught.  That's why he is literally pushed from his nest by father and mother after only a few short months; he must learn to soar -- it's what eagles do!  I recall times when I felt God had shoved me from where I was comfortable, felt secure, and was actually quite content.  Those difficult and scary times were times of learning to depend on Him more, trust Him more completely -- my "soaring practice." However unpleasant those times, God was always between me and the rocks below!  He never missed a cue, never went to sleep. He was the Perfect Conductor!
