One night recently, I woke up and was thoroughly surprised for, though the windows were closed, I could hear a great noise from outside. Upon listening closer, I realized that it was insects and frogs singing out into the darkness, a cacophony of a symphony with no audience.
This got me thinking: the rooster crows to wake the world, the mockingbird cries to mimic its peers, and the cicada sings to communicate with others. So, why would these creatures choose to share their skill when all were asleep?
As I thought over the answer to that question, I was reminded of some Bible verses. Psalms 89:11 “The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.” John 1:3 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
As I was contemplating these verses, I got to thinking about writing. Every published author out there has manuscripts that will never be read by their fans. Every poet has poems that will never be featured in a collection. Every song writer has tunes that will never make it into an album.
This might all sound discouraging, but I am here to encourage you.
Each hour spent typing sentence after sentence of your book is beneficial. If you are diligently seeking to be a better writer (or whatever else), not only are you building up your writing style and quality, but your work doesn’t go unseen. The Lord knows each word you scribble, and He knows what your heart’s intent is through your writing.
So, don’t stop writing those hidden stories. Continue that poem you’ve been working on. Finish that song that you want to write. Even if your project never sees the light of day, sing out your words into the cacophony of the night.
And sing them out for Him.
Remember, some writers, poets and painters became very famous after they died. As time goes on, their work is more appreciated.
I like this and your use of the scriptures
