ARE YOU ENJOYING GOD?
I am! I am! I am! He has the sweetest ways of showing up to let me know that He is involved in EVERY detail of my life and that I’m not going through life alone.
Like on Friday at work, I heard the song, Rockstar by DaBaby, play on the radio. I immediately downloaded it on my phone and had the best time listening to it repeatedly. Then on Saturday, still playing the song, I called my brother, Kevin, in the Bahamas and said, “We have to be God’s Rockstars.” Fast forward to Sunday, this was the first song I played on my morning run with God, and I was so happy, feeling like I was really God’s Rockstar. I even ended up going TOO hard on myself!
So, I get home, thinking the run was over, when Coach Bennet, from the Nike Running Club app, snuck in another 30-second interval of running on me. I was already home, and I thought, ‘I’m done! No more running!’ But something in me told me to finish out the last 30 seconds STRONG, and I did. At the end of it, Coach Bennet says, “YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR!!!” Wink! Wink!
Once again, and out of the blue, everything lined up extremely too perfectly to be some ordinary coincident and I was reminded that God’s invisble Presence is always with me. From hearing that song play on the radio on Friday, to me calling my brother the next day, to me beginning that run to that very song, and for Coach Bennet to say, ‘You’re a ROCKSTAR,” was all God’s sweet way of letting me know that I AM HIS ROCKSTAR, baby!
And for me, that means Heaven and God are my audiences as I go through life with my eyes fixed on making Papa God happy in every moment: ‘What would You have me to do here?’ It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing, I MUST be obedient to God seeking my love and approval from Him, not from other humans who can love us one day and hate us the next. Kk?
That was the message to my daughter, Ember, after midnight last night when she came to my bedroom crying. We read this from the Bible:
“So live like children who belong to the light. Light brings every kind of goodness, right living and truth. Try to learn what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the things done in darkness which are not worth anything. But show that they are wrong.” – Ephesians 5:8-11
I told her how I feel God in my spirit, nudging me along the path He has called me to walk. When I do that, He gives me more than I can ever ask or imagine from Him. Will you be His Rockstar? We may not get it right all the time, but can we aim to reflect God’s character of LOVE to a watching world?
