Sing or Sulk

Ever been stuck in a bad situation? Plane delays, traffic jams, long check out lines, people everywhere and everywhere people. All mad! All impatient! All ready to snap! I remember a trip where a long delay at the airport resulted in a man yelling at the lady at the desk. He was loud. He was obnoxious. He was only saying what the rest of us were thinking! So my question is what do you do in situations like this? How do you react. Mark Batterson, in his new book Primal, says "In my experience, it’s much easier to act like a Christian than it is to react like one. Anyone can put on an act. But your reactions reveal what is really in your heart."

I think that rather than sulking (shouting) a more Christian reaction is to sing (although I can't say that anyone would want me to do this):



Josh Wilson was stuck, along with thousands of other travelers, as police were searching for the perpetrator of the security breach at the Newark airport on Sunday night. Josh gets it. Do you? We are called to sing in a sulking world!
