To Dance

There is also a rhythm in our lives with God. Too often, in our desire to be passionate lovers of Christ, the rhythm of our lives sounds something like the over-adrenalized stomping of Riverdance. We busy ourselves making history, winning the campus for Christ, overturning tables and the like. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for this non-stop commotion to come to a grinding halt.

Perhaps this can be a season of stillness after all the noise, or a time of reflection after all the action. Living life with God is less like the quick thrill of Dirty Dancing (Scripture has some more meaningful things to say than, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner,” after all) and more like a slow dance with your love of many years. She already knows you are going to step all over her feet. He does not mind that you have not learned all the latest moves. It's not about the music or the moves. What matters is the gaze of your love, as you sweep your way across the floor together.

We hear the bells ringing and we are singing, and we know about Jesus’ final victory over sin and death and yet, still, it can be difficult to connect that with how we actually feel.
