The Script

Have you ever had stage fright?  I have, and it's horrible.  After all, what is a performance without the script!  Imagine the anticipation of a writer finally hearing his belabored work produced on stage, then the actor can't remember the lines!  Bummer!

Consider the Father's disappointment when we don't follow His Divine Script for living.  He's written The Script down in His Word yet we refuse to read it, study it or memorize, then falter foolishly in the performance.  My niece was once part of a summer outdoor theatre and spent countless hours rehearsing, practicing to get it right.  I’m sure by the middle of the summer, she could do her part in her sleep.  Our humanity will always try to hinder the Light of Christ in us, but faithfulness to studying and practicing The Script as given by Its Author helps prepare us for giving a performance where the Writer is well represented and honored.  "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." (Psalm 119:11)  Life is tough and there is little time or opportunity for bumbling, stuttering, or stage fright -- Study The Script.
