Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to weep, a time to laugh,
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
What would it be like, the spiritual growth possibility I now
address. Let me explain what I mean in
this imaginary dream sequence.
In this dream Jesus is your walking companion, and by your side,
His footprints are steady and you are trying to match Him footstep for footstep.
But in this dream you start having trouble. You begin to zig and you zag. Your decisions on where to go and what to do
are disorganized. You start and you stop
and you run around in circles.
And in this dream you are aware that Jesus is watching you waste
much time and effort. But you also know
He is not giving up on you. He is just
patiently watching and waiting for he know that gradually, but steadily because
you love Him and want to please Him, your footsteps will become more closely
attuned to His.
“What a friend I have in Jesus…” He has heard you sing it and He
knows you believe it so He patiently waits and watches you apply this faith to
the challenge of action. And in your
dream you see it happening…less zigs and zags and meaningless circles. You are walking daily in closer harmony with
Him.
Then something seems to be going wrong, and you are confused. No longer
do your steps match His steps. There are
gashes in the sand and sudden stops and starts, and you cry out, “Lord, what is
happening? I understand the first scenes;
with zigzags and fits I was a new Christian, just learning. And You walked on
with me through the storms of life and helped me learn to walk with You.”
“That is correct.”
The Lord answered.
And you continue to speak to Him, “And when my footprints began
to more often parallel Yours, I was actually learning to better walk in Your
steps, following You very closely.
“Very good. You have
understood everything so far.”
”But, Lord, now there is a regression or something, for our footprints have
”But, Lord, now there is a regression or something, for our footprints have
separated, and
this time it is worse than at first.”
There is a pause before the Lord answers, and you can hear the
smile in His voice as He says, “Oh, you don't know? It is now that we are dancing together!”
Now wake up!
Really wake up and realize it
doesn’t have to be a dream. You can actually spend your life dancing with
God… or stumbling with the devil.
It’s your life – your choice.
