Throughout each day I see myself as if I am living and doing all that I say and do on a stage, but not just any stage. I see myself on God’s stage. Because I strive to stay aware that God is constantly watching me, that helps me think and behave better than I otherwise would.

Since Christ-followers are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) we are not an audience of religious spectators. We are living today in this world on Heaven’s stage. Even the hairs on our head are all numbered by God. (Luke 12:7) Here on earth we are supposed to acknowledge Jesus in front of people (Luke 12:8-9) and to speak about what we have seen and heard Him say and do. (Acts 4:20)

Throw off everything that hinders you from proclaiming and demonstrating Jesus to the world. Cast off the chains of your sin. Then you can with perseverance continually follow the script that God the Holy Spirit is laying out inside of you, by always keeping your eyes fixed on Jesus. (Hebrews 12:2)

Let Christ in you (Colossians 1:27) be the ongoing author and perfecter of your faith. Keep your mind and heart constantly focused on and always considering Jesus so that you don’t get tired of obeying the Spirit’s inner script, lose heart, step off of Heaven’s stage, and become a passive religious spectator. (Hebrews 12:1-3)

Christ is here
All the time,
Always near
To a heart
That’s open
To His love
And will hear
And adhere
To what He
Has to say.
(Matthew 15:8)
