We know, as surely as David the psalmist knew, that not everything in life is good. Health may be lost. Serious illness and death may separate family members or friends. Jobs can be lost and homes damaged or destroyed. To any list we must add, in repentant sorrow, the lengthy record of our own sins, our own disobedience and rebellion against God’s Word and ways.

While we wait, He promises us: “You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy” (John 16:20b, NIV). With His promise, we can picture Him in us: God’s beloved children, moved by God’s music. Maybe you’ve seen children dancing at a wedding reception. They are dancing, but they didn’t pick the playlist.
