Can You Sing?

Wednesday. Luke 2: 25-33.

Simeon had been taking vocal lessons and practicing for a long time. He had the Master-musician for his teacher — the Holy Spirit. His ear was trained by careful listening. Expert listening is really skilled silence. He had caught the true keynote and could sing it, and sing it accurately, without flatting or sharping or sliding, hitting every note clear and true. We need more singing of this sort. And the singing-school is still open.
