"It has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him." Philippians 1:29

We cannot know in what way we can best glorify God. It may be in hard work; it may be in quiet waiting; it may be in painful suffering. It is better, therefore, that we let God choose the way in which he would have us serve and honor him. The bird glorifies God-by singing its sweet song; the flower glorifies God-by pouring out its fragrance. Mary praised Christ-by sitting at his feet, Martha-by serving him. If we simply obey his will-that will always be the best.
