Boldness
We are familiar with the songs that describe the feelings of the rich and famous, but what are the songs of ordinary people? Frank Sinatra sang, I did it my way but what does the ordinary believer sing? Lena Horne sang, Stormy Weather and Aretha Franklin sang, R-E-S-P-E-C-T but what songs do the faithful sing on their daily journey toward the Canaan Land? Our songs usually describe our experiences and our hopes. They sometimes define where we have been and where we are going.
The songs of ordinary people describe us.
Is there one song that describes your life? If you could pick a song that best expresses your feeling at the present moment what would it be? Rock me baby? I want your body? Hood Rich? or Amazing Grace?
Those who have different experiences in life sing different songs. Those who have been hurt may sing the blues with B.B. King. Those who look toward the future may sing, Don't stop thinking about tomorrow with Fleetwood Mack.
As Christians, when we sing about our experiences, we often sing about the glory of God who has helped us along the way.
