“The trick to creativity, if there is a single useful thing to say about it, is to identify your own peculiar talent and then to settle down to work with it for a good long time.

We sing a loud “yes” to those questions week after week, but we show what we truly believe by our confidence in him while waiting for resolution to pain, vindication for injustice or satisfaction for the longing of our hearts.
In those moments, worship involves reminding our souls that the “Lord is not slow in keeping his promise” and trusting in him alone as the provider.
