Behind the Scenes
You're at a play sitting in your seat waiting for the show to start. You're bored. You are tired of talking to the person next to you. The audience is whispering in the hushed tones. Its chilly, of course. WHen is this thing going to start? Did I stand in line forever to be on time just so that I have to do more waiting? Are the actors and actresses on coffee break? Why are they taking their sweet time? The show is supposed to begin now.
Behind the scenes, it's a totally different atmosphere. Everyone is rushing around, getting the last minute details perfect. The crew and techies are set up, waiting for their cue to begin the opening music. The actors and actresses are putting on their final touches to costumes and make-up, and they are beginning to take their place on stage. The opportune moment is here.
The curtains begin to arise just as you are wondering if you should just go get some popcorn. Being impatient has once again gotten the best of the audience.
The lights finally fin. Let the show begin.
This is us, right now in life. Sometimes we are impatient. We put forth our best effort, yet nothing exciting happens. We wonder why God isn't giving us that perfect moment to meet someone new, become extraordinary, do something incredible, or be the person we thought we would be.
Behind the scenes though, God is hard at work. He is meticulously making sure that every detail is in order for your life--just so you can experience that opportune moment. He is always busy, hard at work. He knows what lies ahead in your life. He knows your weaknesses and strengths. He knows your sorrows and happiness. He knows exactly what you need exactly when you need it. He wants you to be happy.
So if you are every wondering what is going on behind the scenes and why its taking so long for that curtain to rise, just remember, our Father in Heaven is busy making sure you can lead a happy life. Have faith and be patient.
