Study the Script

Have you ever had stage fright?  I have, and it's horrible.  Few things mess up a performance more than forgotten lines!  Imagine the anticipation of a writer to finally hear his work produced on stage, then the actor can't remember the lines!

 

Imagine The Father's disappointment when we don't follow His Divine Script for living.  He's given It in His Word, and preserved it through the ages, yet we refuse to read It, study It or memorize, then falter foolishly in following It.  My niece was a performing arts major in college, and several summers she was part of an outdoor theatre.  She spent long and countless hours rehearsing, practicing to for each performance.  I imagine 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 The Author of all life helps prepare us for giving a performance where the Playwright Himself 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.
