Sometimes we feel we are just going
through the motions. Our heart is not in our work. I am constantly striving to
make my life a fluid movement with God as the Master Teacher. Still, sometimes I stumble and fall out of
line…
I was able to join my husband on a
business trip to New York City recently, where we attended a musical production. It was fabulous to say the least! Gifted, well-rehearsed performers in a
beautiful theatre with gorgeous costumes, music and lights put on a wonderful
show. It was a thing of beauty. I’ve watched a lot of high school
productions, too, as my children performed through the years. I loved them all – how can you not when it’s
your child and their friends? Some of
the kids were gifted performers and excellent with the choreography, some were
not. Some reminded me of snappy
cheerleaders; some like a herd of elephants!
But with time they became more confident and the movements become more
natural and beautiful. They gained stage
presence and became something truly enjoyable to watch. Their heart was in their performance and it
showed in their smile.
How about your life – your routine? Does
your heart match your movement? No matter what comes, we can be confident
as we live life, because as believers we have the actual Spirit of God helping
us. Galatians 5:25 reminds us “if we live by the spirit to keep in step with
the Spirit.” We keep in step by paying attention to the Word, listening to the
Master Teacher, and practicing! Rely on Him to make your routine into a thing
of beauty.
Sometimes I wish I was a dancer; with
beautiful movements to match the music. But even more, I hope my heart
for God shows in the rhythm of life as it comes.
