Keep singing

The wilderness soundtrack sounds like desert thirst. Barren field. Little fruit. 

We sit in a conference with workers from some of those fields. Where the gospel has been sung. Refrain after refrain. 

To no response.

Their voices strain at the chords. Lament in the place of veiled hearts. Where darkness is palpable. 

I remember. The struggle to keep singing in the land where captives remained captive. Hearts closed to the One and Only.

Take up His yoke

The challenge given to us that day was purposeful. Powerful. 

To stay in the Word like our lives depend on it. Because they do. And to speak the Word like their lives depend on it. Because they do. 

We caught the urgency. To share with the millions. And with the neighbor across the street.
