Sorrow Into Singing

All of us go through times when we feel spiritually barren. We feel like nothing is happening. We feel dry and troubled – and the tendency is to pull back, to be discouraged, to be defeated. Yet we must fight this tendency for the Bible says the time we feel barren, desolate, cold and unproductive is the very time we are to sing, to make a loud, joyful noise. That’s why Paul would say, “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4). He didn’t say, “Rejoice if you can,” or, “Rejoice when it’s convenient,” or, “Rejoice when you feel like it.” He said, “Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS” – even when you’re feeling barren – perhaps especially when you’re feeling barren. (Courson)When we praise the Lord through our trials, it changes our perspective and He provides peace through it all.Learn more about what God is speaking to us in Isaiah 54 with Founder of He's The Solution Ministries, Lee Arnold.
