So, today at church we were singing the hymn, Master The Tempest Is Raging. The song is all about the bluster and fury of the elements and then at the end of the chorus are the words: they all shall sweetly obey Thy will, peace be still....
I love that idea of sweet obedience. I've long maintained that obedience is a key element in our return to that place we long to be - after we leave this earth.
But sweet obedience carries the implication of much more: a tender spirit, a willing heart, a thoughtful desire, a united mind and soul.
What a concept - sweet obedience. Again, something to strive for.
