Chapter Nine: Give people hope
When we were studying Philippians together, we talked about how the church started. Paul and Silas in prison singing together became a witness to the community and to the men about the absolute faithfulness of God. It gave everyone hope. In chapter nine of his book MAKE YOUR BED, Admiral Mcraven says, “We will find ourselves neck deep in mud someday. That is the time to sing loudly, to smile broadly, to lift up those around you and give them hope that tomorrow will be a better day.” So well said and excellent spiritual advice for any who feel life is a bit unfair. Just start singing anyway.
