While the world chases beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, and the foolish. In our days of celebrity worship and online posturing, this is a refreshing, even transformative way of understanding God and our place in his creation. It urges us to treasure a life of simplicity, to love those whom the world passes by, to work for God's glory rather than our own. And it reminds us that while a quiet life may look unimpressive to the world, it's the regular, everyday people whom God tends to use to do his most important work.
