The show must go on.

The best concert, the most amazing songs of everlasting joy are from your heart for Jesus, the one who has given you life.

Isaiah chapter 12 verse 1-5.

On that day you will say, "Praise the Lord! He was angry with me, but now He comforts me. See God has come to save me! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and song; He is my salvation. Oh, the joy of drinking from the Fountain of Salvation!" In that wonderful day you will say, "Thank the Lord! Praise His name! Tell the world about His wonderous love. How mighty He is!" Sing to the Lord, for He has done wonderful things. Make known His praise around the world. 

The characters: God (the Creator of all heaven and earth and of mankind) Adam (Man formed from God) Eve (Adams wife) The serpent (the craftiest of all the creatures God had made) Jesus(Our Savior)

God created the heavens and the earth and then one day He created this beautiful garden and in this garden He formed a mans body out of the dust from the ground and He breathed into it the breath of life. The man lived in the Garden of Eden as it's gardener, tending and caring for it. 

   God warned Adam telling him, "You may eat any fruit in the garden except the fruit from the Tree of Conscience---for its fruit will open your eyes to make you aware of right from wrong, good and bad. If you eat its fruit, you will be doomed to die."

   God did not like the idea that Adam was alone so He created a woman. Then one day the serpent came to Eve and tempted her with eating the fruit from the Tree of Conscience. He said, "You will become like Him, you will be able to distinguish good from evil!"  

   The woman was convinced. How lovely and fresh looking it was! And it would make her so wise! So she ate some of the fruit and gave some to her husband, who enjoyed its juicy taste. Suddenly they became aware of their nakedness and were embarrassed. They strung fig leaves together and covered their hips.

   That evening they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the garden; and they hid themselves among the trees. The Lord called out to Adam, "Why are you hiding?" And Adam replied, "I heard You coming and did not want You to see me naked. So I hid." 

   "Who told you that you were naked?" the Lord God asked. "Have you eaten from the tree I warned you about?" "Yes," Adam admitted, "but it was the woman You gave me who brought me some, and I ate it." Then the Lord asked the woman, "How could you do such a thing?" "The serpent tricked me," she replied.

   Wow! That is no different than the lives we have. God forms us in the womb and breathes life into our bodies. We are innocent and naïve to the world until we experience hurt and discipline. And then we learn about judgement and telling lies.

   Even though Adam went against the God's wishes, God still cared enough to clothe them and watch over them. They had to be disciplined for what they had done and that is no different from being disciplined in our lives. Even when we do wrong things, we are not discarded and forgotten about.  

   Are you aware of God being there? Or are you focused on the struggles of your life? Everyday is a whole new experience. We do not know what we will encounter from one day to the next. We may make plans but what if those plans are interrupted? You see God has never left. He formed you and gave life to your body. You are free to find your own way through life, but you are also free to walk with God in His garden. 

   He created this beautiful world for you to enjoy in the short time that you get to live here. When you know that and walk with Him then you will want others to share what you have found. There is no hiding or disguise, only the truth. God came to walk with Adam and Eve in the garden that He created. God wants you to walk with Him and enjoy His amazing love found in Jesus. 

   Adam and Eve must have been disappointed with themselves for doing what they did. They had no idea what laid ahead of them or where they would be going. Yet God was with them. Our lives may be a wandering mess, yet God is there. 

   Hebrews chapter 13 verse 15 says, "With Jesus' help we will continually offer our sacrifice of praise to God by telling others of the glory of His name." I saw a sonogram of a baby being formed. What a marvellous miracle. The baby will be born and it will grow to find it's own way through life. Hopefully they will come to know God and Jesus. It is amazing when we can give God the praise and the glory for the life we have and to know that He is there with us protecting and guiding us along. 

  Hebrews chapter 12 verse 1 says, "Let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us."   

   Don't miss out on being involved in giving the best show ever. God wants to see your very best and He can provide all the means in order for that to happen. Enjoy!

   Thank you Father for Jesus. Thank You for setting up the best background for the greatest show that our lives can provide You with. Our joy is in the joy of life with You! 😊

Acts chapter 9 verses 15 and 16.

Hosea chapter 14 verse 9.

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things. Whoever is intelligent, let him listen. For the paths of the Lord are true and right, and good men walk along them.
