"For many, every day is the same.
And when each day is the same as the next, it is because people fail to
recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day the sun rises. God
delights in working through our everyday life and experiences. He has an important
place in His plan for us even if we are behind the scenes and out of the
spotlight. No matter whom you are or where your daily journey takes you, when
you stay available for His service He will show what He can do with a yielded
LIFE.”
Finding your place in this world is
a very significant part of our existence. While some yearn to be in the
spotlight, others crave to strut their stuff behind the scenes. It’s not your
position that matters, it’s your impact. There’s a beauty behind the scene that
many have not discovered. It’s the glory of the ancients, the joy of the ages. Many
of the leading lights today once had their humble beginning behind the scenes. Some
emerged from the bush to the palace; others, from the prison to the government
house.
“Samuel served the Lord by helping
Eli the priest…” 1Sam.3:1. This is a very significant portion of the Scriptures
that challenges the regular conventional concept of (kingdom) service. Truth
is, you don’t have to be in the spotlight all the time. Helping the “priest”,
doing the background work and staying behind the scene is as important as “being
the priest” himself. And like Samuel who eventually stepped into prominence
when his time came, you've got to be patient. You won’t be ‘there’ for long. Just keep working and doing
what you know how to do best. Don’t be carried away by the fact that you are
not the one getting the applause and accolades. It’s only a matter of time. It
is turn by turn.
Having said that, it is important
to state that not everyone craves the spotlight. You’ve got to know yourself. While
some will eventually step into prominence, the fulfillment of others lie in
pulling the strings behind the scene. The bottomline is: check your motives. Why
do you do what you do? You don’t have to be in the spotlight to be proud; you
might as well be an arrogant behind-the-scene worker. Your driving force is
key. Get it right.
Over time, I have realized that
whatever I do – either in the secular or kingdom setting, I am ultimately
working for God. He is my Number One Master. Therefore, I must be contented with
my role (on stage or behind the scene) and play my part well. As long as my
service is unto Lord, position is irrelevant to my attitude and performance. What
is paramount is faithfulness, humility and doing what I have to do, for Him,
with gladness of heart. So help me God!
