"Look what God can do!"

I watched just a minute or two of the Academy Awards tonight, as I sorted clothes, but I caught Jennifer Hudson's acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress. She started with "Look what God can do!" and then went on to do all the normal thanking of the people in her life, and again thanked God.

I was struck by how completely appropriate her initial reaction should be for any Christian who achieves something or is rewarded for something! That is a reflection of a view of life that has a proper understanding of God's role, my role, and everyone else's role: "Look what God can do!"

I imagine by tomorrow there will be video somewhere I could post here of her speech, but if you're interested, you'll have to search for it first and let me know! It was a sound-bite of joy and humility.
