Stick with the Script



All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness... II Timothy 3:16
January 16, 2016

 The phrase "stick with the script" is often given as an admonishment, a gentle push or out and out directive when an individual or group is getting off task.  As the Holy Spirit laid the theme for today on my heart I had to pause and say "Jesus this is really something." The more appropriate response would have been JESUS YOU ARE REALLY SOMETHING! I need to STICK WITH THE SCRIPT!

 The Script is God's Word and Jesus, hallelujah is The Word of God.  What peace what comfort to have the Holy Spirit give pause to say to us today Stick to the Script.  Hold fast to the Word of God.  Embrace Jesus Christ and understand that there is no reason to get off course.  In fact, not sticking to the Holy Scriptures is what causes much of the turmoil in our lives.  

 A script in hand ensures that there is always a point of reference. In the case of actors that they can refer to it in case they forget their lines. Lest we forget our reason for being as children of the Most High God we need stick to the Scriptures.  "Line upon line, precept upon precept." (Isaiah 28:13 cf)

 God has not left us here to fend for ourselves. Everything we need to live a Christ centered life is available to us.  2 Peter 1:2-3 tells us:
"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue..."  KJV

Let me encourage you today: Do not go off script.  Do not ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Stick with the Script!
As the songwriter has penned:

"Let Jesus lead you. Let Jesus lead you.  Let Jesus lead you all the way. All the way from earth to heaven, let Jesus lead you always the way!"

in Christ,

 Blest Be The Tie That Binds  by John Fawcett (Public Domain)

1 Blest be the tie that binds
our hearts in Christian love;
the fellowship of kindred minds
is like to that above. 
2 Before our Father's throne
we pour our ardent prayers;
our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
our comforts and our cares. 
3 We share our mutual woes,
our mutual burdens bear,
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear. 
4 When we are called to part,
it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart,
and hope to meet again. 
5 This glorious hope revives
our courage by the way;
while each in expectation lives
and waits to see the day. 
6 From sorrow, toil, and pain,
and sin, we shall be free;
and perfect love and friendship reign
through all eternity.

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
