A thought from John Piper

"What words might the Holy Spirit use to open someone to the truth that their inferiority to God is good news? Perhaps this: What if we asked someone, “Would you want to watch a football game where all the players were no better than you? Or watch a movie where the actors could act no better than you and were no better looking than you? Or go to a museum to see pictures by painters who could paint no better than you?” Why are we willing to be exposed in all these places as utterly inferior? How can we get so much joy out of watching people magnify their superiority over us? The biblical answer is that we were made by God to get our deepest joys not from being superior ourselves but from enjoying God’s superiority. All these other experiences are parables. God’s superiority is absolute in every way, which means our joy in it may be greater than we could ever imagine."
-From his talk at the 2006 Desiring God conference, "The supremacy of Christ and Joy in a post-modern world."

I have an original post in the works, but don't have the time for it right now, perhaps later this week. For now, I hope this Piper quote can grab and encourage you as much as it did me when I first heard it. If you have the time, listen to the entire 2006 DG conference, which can be found through the link provided or, if you want it as a podcast, at Mark Driscoll's Resurgence.
