I'm pleased to bring you a guest post today by Lynn Mosher!
Each Blank Page
by Lynn Mosher
I recently entered a contest, for which I did not win, by the way, for limericks about writing. Here’s my entry...
Oh, well! Only rarely does poetry strike my soul. However, this one is a little better... Awaiting my fingers to begin. Obviously, it’s about writing also. But this post isn’t about writing. I used writing as an analogy. Just as any writer, artist, or composer uses a blank paper or canvas to display his or her work, so, too, do we. This post is about the blank page God gives us of each day. It is to be filled for His glory with all that we say, do, and think. His plan and purpose will fill each 24 hours in the best way possible...if we follow them. However, in all the daily hubbub of a busy schedule of running errands, working (and some working two jobs), appointments, emergencies, cleaning the house, or whatever, we get sidetracked and leave God out of our day. Therefore, Paul exhorts us... *“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Col 3:17 NIV) *“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” (Col. 3:23 NLT) Each day’s activities will be gathered up and, on Judgment Day, they will show how well we filled each blank page of our lives. Paul said that each person’s work will be shown for what it is, because it will all be brought out into the light. “It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work.” (1 Cor. 3:13b NIV) What are you writing on today’s blank page? Does it glorify God? Is it fireproof? |
