A Song for a Sigh

Have you ever got a song stuck in your head? Even the sweetest of songs, after a while, begin to make you nuts! Handley Moule wrote, "It is possible to see the will of God in everything, and to find it, as one has said, no longer a sigh, but a song." To see the sovereignty of God in every moment of life is indeed a challenge yet a worthy goal. When life takes that unexpected twist and unpleasant turn, it's not our nature to be happy about it or rejoice in it. The common response of "oh no" and the resulting attitude and complaining that follow often is best described [in musical terms] as sour and off-key. Paul wrote, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, ESV). Don't let those words "always" or "without ceasing" or "all circumstances" get stuck in your throat! Let this be the never-ending song of the Saints: God is higher and mightier than any twist or turn; look to Him - The Presence and The Power. Christ is your trusted ... song for a sigh.
