#fridayfootprints – Friday 4th November 2022

Lay me down on creation’s pillow where fallen petals are the pages of a life caught between the book ends of an existence in a world created through thoughts and dreams.

On each petal are scripts of dramas which get to be played out by the characters of imagined personas that strut the stages of our realities.

The spotlights that shine on this stage, give meaning to the play and to the roles and with the sounds emanating from the orchestra pit, it is here that the audience can feel the nuances of a spirit-filled life.

The plays and the stages are our own. They are written and produced with guidance from an anxiously onlooking Trinity. Only when the Spirit’s lights come on, and the Angels’ choir begin the refrain, that the world will see the truth revealed in each of us.

What that truth will be, is entirely up to the words of the inscriptions on our petals, voiced and performed throughout each scene.

We pray, Lord, that the light of the Holy Spirit, shines on us and highlights your ‘Truth’ and the extent of Your Grace through the roles we play. Be gentle, Lord … and lay me down on a bed of Your truth, may Your fragrance of salvation be the whispered words of holiness that accompany me all my days and into eternity.

With arms raised high we praise Him! Is there any other action more fitting?

With our hands upheld and palms outstretched we are able to reveal the true content of our heart.

If we are to carry His love with us on our journey, if we are to free the burden of sin on our laden soul, then we must stand tall with heads held high and praise Him. To walk amongst the echoes of creation is to feel a praise song build within our soul ‘till it bursts forth in glorious rapture through every cell of our being.

We can talk to the Lord at any time, share our deepest hurts and fears, but the triumph over this is to stand before Him in surrender and acknowledge Him for His mercy and grace. This is our ultimate sacrifice, that in spite of our own needs and desires; we place Him first on the throne and worship Him alone.

To bring glory to His name is to open ourselves to the world. Then, like hungry bees in creation’s garden, nations will flock to the whisper of His word.

Nations must rise to glorify Him, but it is the people in those nations that must lift Him up for all to see!

O praise the lord all you nations. Ps 117.1
