I read this tonight while doing my homework:
The Apostle Paul posed a wonderful answer in Philippians 4:4. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” The world can’t help but notice those accosted by joy. The world also can’t help noticing a life that seems to work. Our lives can become flesh-and-blood felt boards of the great and glorious paradox: life is found by losing it for the sake of Christ. A vessel is filled by pouring out. The key to receiving is giving. The key to living is dying to self. The greatest in the kingdom is the servant of all. God has been right all along. His upside-down path is the only way to true contentment and satisfaction. The world’s claim of happiness is betrayed by an ever-increasing lust for more. Nothing ever suffices. Nothing ever will. Christ alone satisfies the ailing human soul.
- Beth Moore, Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy
And THAT is why I sing.
