It's Going To Take Some Convincing... The Show Must Go On!

It’s Going To Take Some Convincing… The Show Must Go On!

You've said it before, “Who are you trying to convince, me or yourself?”  Truth be told, when it comes to waiting on the Lord, “It’s me Lord standing in the need of prayer.” 

I am trying to convince “me” each and every morning I rise up and I am still in the same old life that I was in yesterday.  Way-minute! It’s still not here?  Alright Lord… I need you again today. 

And now the process ensues of me asking for the strength to face this day- not tomorrow.  

Tomorrow… Why in the world would I want to think and worry about tomorrow when today’s concerns are a handful and a ½?  All the faith I have is for TODAY; just the right amount of manna, so that it doesn't go bad… I gather what I need today and for today only.

If you don’t think that you have convince yourself to stay in stride, to keep walking and fighting the good fight of faith, then you haven’t been footin’ it very long.  None of us can out-sprint, run or speed-walk out of the process that God has called us to. 

Faith and convincing are not two of the same; therefore, I’m not speaking as though you have to build up your faith over and again because your faith in God must first be established in order to CONVINCE yourself repeatedly, and believe, even when the same scenery plays day after day – the curtain opens and we have to perform – The Show Must Go On! Be Christ-like as best you can.

God has the playbill with our names listed as a cast member and we have people who are watching us to see what “we” say all the hype is about our God.  I plan to put on a show every day he opens the curtains of my eyes to see the bright lights of life and I shall receive the award for BEST PERFORMANCE.
