square-dance, anyone? seems kind of old-fashioned, but i've had the image of square dancing in mind lately.
in square-dancing there are actual dance moves that the dancers know will happen and usually know in what order. but there is a 'caller' - you know, the guy who calls out amusing little phrases that then tells the dancers what to do (even though they already know what to do).
so, here's my thought - if we all in this dance of life, and the way i see it, God is the music maker/dj/square dance caller....shouldn't we know what dance move to make when we he calls it out? hmmmmmmm my observation of a recent situation has caused me to think hard and deep about it. and all i do is say 'hmmmmmm' could it be that we haven't been 'practicing' enough - being in His Word, so that we understand what He wants us to do when He tells us? why do we think and pray and hope for God to answer and make a situation all clear, when all along, He has made it clear.
i don't think i know it all. i know i haven't even read it all. but why do i continue to want to dance through life and think it fathomable that my God, my Savior, the lover of my soul would want me to get on the dancefloor and dance for His glory without having the benefit of understanding Him as revealed through His word?
oh to be able to just sit and drink in His word. oh that the parties of life would stop for a while so that i might regain a passion that only His Word can fill. oh that i would respond and react when my 'caller' comes calling. oh for the glory of His name.
get back on the dancefloor and listen for His call.

Sometimes it is more complicated when we dance with confidence....meaning, sometimes we start dancing without waiting for the music or knowing if it is square dancing or the waltz. We can become confident in, and master even, one type of dance and miss completely His challenge to a new adventure.
Thank you for the kind words on my blog.....do I know you dancing queen?
the centrality of Christ and His word in the lives of believers is what allows people to share oneness with each other
good words about dancing with confidence. i think we do step on the dance floor comfortable and over confident about one thing and we continue on dancing, even when He changes the music. guess we all need to listen a little more closely to His guidance.
