The Greek word for agreement is sumphonea. This is where the English language gets the word symphony. If musicians are not paying close attention to their conductor, they can quickly become out of sync with the rest of the orchestra.
Lately, I have been feeling out of sync with my conductor, the Lord Jesus Christ. My excitement for life has dimmed, passion for worship faded and vision for the future blurred. Like a cross country runner not ready for the beginning of the season, I am spiritually out of shape, gasping for air as I try to get back into the swing of things.
The Hebrew word for intercession is paga. When translated directly into English, paga means to strike the mark. As I turn the page on August to a new month, I need to keep my eyes fixed on my conductor’s wand, Hebrews 12:2. My prayer is that I can let go of my disappointments so that I can become in sync again with the Holy Spirit in September.
