Enjoy Life!
“Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.”
I ran across this quote today and it made me think
about many things. Let me share a couple random thoughts. First of all, I don't
like dress rehearsals. I would rather just do the performance once in costume
and not have to go through all of the "dress up"! To me it always
feel's painful to go through all of that for a "practice" session.
Secondly, could you imagine what it would be like if we got a second chance
because this was only practice? I love "do-overs"! Made a mistake
today....do-over! Said something you wish you could take back...do-over!
The point of this quote is that we should take
seriously the seconds, minutes, hours and days of our lives and spend our time
carefully. Once it's spent, it's gone. We don't get to "dress up" and
run through this once and then the real thing. This IS it! There are no
do-overs. I think that is why the Lord wants us to acknowledge Him so that He
can direct our paths the first time.
All I can say is that when the anointing of God
happens...enjoy it!
People grow tired and bored and seek out other ways
to "find" themselves. God is waiting to rekindle their heart and
guide their steps. So don't start looking for a greener pasture, there isn't
one. You are where you are because of the choices you have made and God is able
to make ALL things work out for your benefit if you can begin to trust Him. So
get ready...lights, camera....ACTION! Enjoy life!
