Great Cosmic Conductor 

This morning is a beautiful late-spring morning in Melbourne, warm and sunny. Perfect morning to be out driving that taxi, Gary! (any good taxi stories this week?)

And I was thinking of you already having had your morning walk, Carol, as I was rushing out the door on way to work (not that early, I hasten to add!). The line of a great old hymn was actually what I was thinking in relation to you out walking:

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above

Do you know it? Just thinking of God in his heaven, all well with our world; those suns, moons and stars all in their courses above - and us! God the great Cosmic Conductor, conducting His great cosmic symphony with everything operating right on cue just as He commands it - but are we in our course? Got a little glimpse of how discordant we can make it when we're not in the course that God has set for us. And the urge to do the only thing I can to be in concord with God's purpose for me today - yield to His Spirit within!

Here's the whole hymn (Great is Thy Faithfulness):

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
