September 11, 2006 Psalms 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. How do we measure a man’s life? Is it by its length, depth or content? Some of us have the philosophy that life is short and to be enjoyed. Others, with a sense of responsibility fill it with feverish activities. But really, how does God look at it? How does God measure the fullness of a life? We are actors on the great stage of existence. We yearn to play in the greatest play of all, under the greatest Playwright of all times. The fullness of our existence is only fulfilled by playing for Him. But there are many others who desire our participation in their drama. These other producers tempt us with carnal incentives that we at times waste our talent on; we sometimes fall for their illusionary empty promises. Each of our lives has a purpose and God is the great Playwright who has written the script of our existence. Each part of our script is synchronized with the script of other players and produces a domino effect on the rest of the plot. Our presence in the play, or lack of it, is never passive, but reactionary; it has an effect. The fullness of a man’s life is in how much he absorbed the script of God, regardless of how boring, glamorous, short, long, simple or intricate. Knowing that we play for the Master-producer, conducting the only movies that have the right outcome in the theater of life, let us dedicate ourselves to only play His script, to not just play the role, but be the role He assigns for us daily.
