From Pain to Praise
It’s sometimes hard for us to jump right into singing when all we feel like doing is sighing. In this sermon From Pain to Praise, we're reminded of Psalm 137:1-5 when God’s people couldn’t sing because they were so sad. They even hung up their harps: By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. There on the poplars we hung our harps. Do you know that it’s possible to praise even when you’re in pain? You can love God when you experience loss. In fact, the most authentic times of adoration are often when we feel the most awful. Worship is not complete until we follow the arc from agony to adoration. When pain has been acknowledged, we are invited to focus on God’s faithfulness in the midst of suffering.
