I am listening to the birds chirping and singing outside my window. It is so peaceful, so lovely, so calming. But I also read in Romans 8:19-21 today that, "For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to futility- not willingly, because of him who subjected it- in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the glorious freedom of God's children." The most beautiful scenes, sounds, and scents of nature as we know them are also not functioning fully as designed- but in futility.
We cannot even imagine the revealed and restored heaven and earth... but I wonder if one day what we knew as beautiful 'bird songs' we will hear as a beautiful symphony of an organized beautiful song we could have never imagined. That the birds will raise their voices together in the most beautiful of songs. As they sang on earth it was all jumbled and the other birds could just not quite get the harmonies right... what we see in part we will be amazed by. Who knows.. but I love that idea...
