So how do the words, orchestra, symphony, and cacophony shape our daily lives? Let me share some of my journal writing to explain.

Journal Excerpt:

It is amazing and wonderful how God orchestrates our lives. Orchestrates is the key word. Since I’m a music person, orchestra has deep and significant meaning. It is a blending of different sounds (frequencies and vibrations) together to create a symphony…not a cacophony.

● Orchestra – noun, a group of performers on various musical instruments. Synonyms – sinfonietta (smaller and strings only)

● Symphony – noun, elaborate instrumental composition in three or more movements; harmonious combination of elements. Synonyms – concert, music, orchestra, harmony

● Cacophony – noun, harsh or unpleasant discordance of sound; dissonance; (caco – a combining form meaning “bad”), Synonyms – noise, discord, harshness

Psalm 148 chapter title: The Whole Creation (Cosmos) Invoked to Praise the LORD

This chapter parallels symphony and orchestra and the references in Ezekiel of 24/7 worship of all crying, “Holy, Holy, Holy, to who was, who is, and who will always be…”

Our praise (worship as incense) rises to heaven mixed and mingled with precision, not caco. What frequency and vibrations are we raising to our creator and our father? Are we expressing harmony or are we uniting our words with discord?

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

Proverbs 18:21

I have made an effort to be more intentional with the words that I speak. I often repeat the scriptures, “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing and acceptable to you” (Psalm 19:14)) and “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34 and Luke 6:45). I only want my words to be life that permeates the atmosphere in which I live.

Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:1 references that all his words of eloquence without love are “only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.” Every word we speak creates frequency and vibrations of either praise of Heaven or discord of Earth.

Light also has frequency and vibration. Isaiah 60, 61 portrays the glory of God coming and resting upon us so that we can penetrate “a world that is in darkness and the people in gross darkness.” Just as Jesus came to change the world, we are His disciples and should be no less effective than His immediate 11 disciples (minus Judas, but he in his action also), they turned the world upside down. And it was said of them, “these men were with Jesus” (Acts 4:13).

I have long remembered a song from my youth called “God Gave the Song.” The song recounts the history of the world through combining harmony, discord, and pure cacophony as it moves through creation, Roman occupation, Jesus’ crucifixion, world wars, and conflicts. The music volume rises and comes to a point that there is a silence as if the music had ended. But, there is a faint tinkle as on a piano of a soft high note that is eventually joined by other notes and harmonies that rise to a crescendo indicating that the song was not lost, but still lives on.

We are God’s workmanship created to radiate His frequency and vibrations in both sound and light to change the atmosphere and usher in His presence in every place we go. Let our symphony, our orchestra reverberate to the world that we have been with Jesus…and His music is that of love, reconciliation, restoration, and a wholeness of mind, body, and soul ONLY available through intimate relationship with Him.

If you want to know more about how to ask Jesus to become the conductor of your life, let us know!
