There’s the curtain.  Dazzling red velvet.  It must be heavy, see how lazily it moves as they begin to open it, swaying like waves on the on the open ocean.  Something, something important, is about to happen!  And you, look!  You’re in your seat!

That’s what the dawn every day is.  Yesterday you purchased the ticket to watch the curtain draw back today.  And isn’t the show in full swing! 

Take two steps to the side.  See your life from that perspective.  See, hear, smell, feel, that’s life!  And you’re here!

You are purchasing your ticket for tomorrow, right now.  And at the sum of your days, you will have purchased your ticket for eternity.  Where will you sit?  Will you even be present for the show?

The Eternal Ticketmaster is Jesus.  BELIEVE!

Lucky You, Blessed Me.

Jesus is the Son of the Living God.  It is not appropriate to consider Him as someone who set the universe in motion then stepped aside to see what would happen.  That would be to make God a God who embraces chance.  And chance is a figment of man’s imagination which pushes the Living God away.  Luck is of that pedigree; men desire to become lucky because they ignore the Living God’s call to faith. 

The Living God will show Himself to any who humble themselves to serve Him.  His revelation comes to man as he accepts the Holy Majesty of God’s control in his life.  As we fan this humility into flame by obeying what we hear, read, and observe from Him, He continues to give more of Himself.  But as we ignore His Holy ways, we endure a peculiar blindness. 

Perhaps you don’t believe what I’ve just said.  Humble yourself before the Most High, calling on the name of His Holy Son, and you will begin to see what is true.  Remain in doubt and you will remain simply lucky; living your life according to chance.

By His Grace.
