Prayer is a primary form of communication between God and His children. Since the earliest of times, men and women have called upon God for help and direction. As we learn the true relationship we each have with God, namely that He is our Father and we are His children, prayer becomes natural and even instinctive on our part.
The sound of The Tabernacle Choir, or any choir for that matter, is found in its blending and unity of voice. Each voice matters and makes a difference. But the strength and contribution of a single voice are not only found in the singing but also in the listening. Mack Wilberg often reminds the Choir, “The key to succeeding in the Choir is to listen louder than you sing.” One of the great secrets to the heavenly harmonies that are created by a choir is found not in the voices that sing loudest, but rather in listening to others.
Taking time each day to sharpen our own spiritual saw prepares us for whatever lies ahead. This sacred time allows us to connect with God through scripture, to speak with Him in prayer, and to discover what He would teach us. A dull saw may still cut, but it slows our progress.
