May the mumbling commence!
Faith is a beautiful thing. There is much poetry in faith. There is much music and song in faith. And, yes, there is much dance in faith. Can’t you see the beauty? Read from First Thessalonians chapter four (Peterson’s The Message paraphrase):
One final word, friends. We ask you – urge is more like it – that you keep on doing what we told you to do to please God, not in a dogged religious plod, but in a living, spirited dance. You know the guidelines we laid out for you from the Master Jesus. God wants you to live a pure life. (Verses 1-3a)
Though our Christian faith walk is a life-long journey, we are not called to a dogged religious plod. No! We are called to do a life-giving and spirited dance down that narrow path that God calls us to through Jesus Christ.
Show your affection to God the Creator and to Jesus the Word by the way that you move. Show your affection to God the Creator and Jesus the Word by the attitude of joyfulness in each step of the life dance. Focus on the dance that God calls you to and you will find yourself closer and closer to living the pure life.
May this call become more like an urge is our lives. May it no longer be a chore. May it be who we are.
Enough mumbling for now…
Peace Out
