Singing through the transition

Transition is a noun that means; movement, passage or change from one position, state, subject, concept, etc. to another. In musical terms transition means; a. a passing from one key to another, modulation, b. a brief modulation, c. a sudden unprepared modulation. As I look over these different definitions, I feel my life fits in the music sense of transition. The sudden unprepared modulation. I have been unprepared mentally, physically, even spiritually for the things we have faced recently. It has been a bit unsettling and frustrating. I am believing that things are going to smooth out and we will transition into a "key" of sweet harmonies and soothing melodies.
Life is full of changes, transitions, roller coaster rides. It is full of joy, sweetness and good memories. At times it throws some big curves that throw us off track and get our focus on little things. But it is so important to keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the author and the finisher of our faith. It is also important to see the Big picture. You know the one.... that desire you have stirring in your heart, the dream that seems so unreachable. With God nothing is impossible. It doesn't say, some things are impossible or that one thing is impossible. No, it says NOTHING!
So whatever you are facing today, know that God already has it taken care of. He knows what phase of your life you are living. He knows what part you are to sing or play. He knows the instruments you need to accomplish the task. He knows whether you are to join in on the harmony or stick to the melody or maybe, you are to sing in unison. He knows if you have rehearsed your part or are looking at it for the first time. He knows! That is the key thing to remember. He will guide, if we let Him.
