Many could be on the Stage, but the spaces are few.

This is a thought that came as I was watching a worship video.

There were the singers/dancers at the microphones. Then there was the crowd/people on the same level as the singers. One of the people was clearly in the moment, and could easily have been put at one of the microphones. Then the thought “Many could be on the stage, but few are the spaces”, came to my mind.

I can see this truth very easily.
Up front there are only so many spaces.
So who gets to have the best places…???… if indeed they are the best places???

Who is able to stand in the limelight, and not crumble?

Do you want to be in the limelight?
If you answer “YES” to that one you quickly, …. then do you need to take a humility pill….??? 🙂

There may be many stars on the side lines (we are all stars, in our own special way, 🙂 ) but if some of those stars were to be thrust into the limelight, then how would they do???

Some would Shine and be a Great Light, for The Lord. But would others stumble and fall?…

Can we know the difference?

If we try to answer that question in our own strength, we might get the answer right and we might get it wrong.
We’d be playing the numbers game. Some we win and some we lose.

But if we are talking about people’s lives, then is there a better method to use over the numbers game…???

Our Lord God’s way???
If we can hear His voice, and follow His Ways, then do our odds get better….??
I know that, the answer to that one is a resounding “YES”.

If we can hear His voice for who should go where, or more importantly, of where and what I should be doing, then how much better are things going to be?

We may not like the answers we get at times, but if we are hearing His words and His purposes for us in ……. , then how much better will it be if we will follow His Ways and His thoughts. Our Loving Heavenly Father, who loves us with an everlasting Love.

There may be some who long to be centre stage, for all the right reasons, but it just doesn’t happen.
Don’t dismay. It might just be your Loving Heavenly Father protecting you from all the arrows that comes with the limelight.

There may be others who don’t want the limelight, but are then just thrust into it.
Your Loving Heavenly Father has you in His Hands. Look to Him for all your needs, for He is able to keep you and to stop your foot from falling.
He Can Protect you from the enemy’s arrows, for He that is us is Greater than he that is in the world.

As for me…. where would I like to be???

Confused is where I currently am. 🙂

I look at some of the things I write, and can just think, “Lord, this is soo good, because it’s from You!
How I long for others to see it so that they can hear Your Words too.”
But I also like not being in the limelight. I am happy to be a star on the side lines.

Fortunately for me, the measure of how successful this blog site (or me in general) is, doesn’t rest with me alone (Although I do need to play my part).
It rests with one Greater than me. (A huge amount greater.)
That rests with My Lord God Almighty!

He Is All Powerful.
He is All Loving.
And He knows what is Best.

I will just try to follow where He leads me, and leave the rest up to Him.

My final thought on this comes from a film. (Of all the places it could come from 🙂 )

Don’t try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make it’s own mind up.
