20.9.10
Tonight is our first performance of the season, Swan Lake! I’m so excited! But quite nervous… maybe a bit more than I’d like to be, haha. But I suppose that’s normal. Today I was reading Matthew 21; it describes the time when Jesus cleared out the temple of all the sellers and money exchangers. This might be a stretch of my imagination a bit, but I had this thought of the stage as a temple, a place where I meet with God, worship Him and dwell in His presence. Last year it turned into a place of fear. Many times it became just a job, something I do to get paid. The pressure, the stress had far too much say in my life. My prayer is that God would clear it out and make it a beautiful, holy place, not cluttered with stress, fear, and greed. I don’t want to push God out of this beautiful space in exchange for a thing that brings me no real gain. I want it to be a place where I meet with Him again.
“My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” – Matthew 21:13
In John 10:10 it says that the devil is a thief.
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”
For too long I have allowed him to steal my joy , kill my worship, and destroy my confidence. It’s time for him to be kicked out.
“May both my heart and the place that I dance be a holy space for you, God. May You be the audience I dance for.”
