The divine value of the utterly uneventful life

John Piper on hymnwriter William Cowper, who wrote, God Moves in A Mysterious Way, and, There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood:

From the standpoint of adventure or politics or public engagement his life was utterly uneventful. The kind of life no child would ever choose to read about. But for those of us who are older we have come to see that the events of the soul are probably the most important events in life. And the battles in this man's soul were of epic proportions.
