Imagine this with me...
God
has a video that’s full of human
history.
Scenes
of our past and future repeat continuously.
In
His keen desire with us all to commune,
He’s
streamed a trailer into which we
could tune.
We call it The Bible.
Every
movie comprises scenes and transitions,
Some
more pivotal in unfolding progressions.
While
all His highlights to us are in transcriptions,
We
supply pictures to decode His transmissions.
Our
version of this vid needs a bit of editing.
To
understand story lines, shifting and emerging.
In
the hearts of all Christ believers lives our ‘Editor’,
Who ‘renders’ this vid so understanding is
easier.1
Our Editor is The Holy Spirit,
Who
reveals to us God’s open secret.
God’s
Word daily read, studied and meditated,
Ensures
our Editor remains activated.
The
full trailer to us is very L-O-N-G.
Knowing our impatience is soooooo headstrong,
God has sprinkled snippets of what the end will be.
Activate The Editor, this
is what you’ll see...
For
most of us, t’will be one of dark, lamenting torment,
For
believing lies about Jesus that devils foment.
For
a wise few, t’will be one of perpetual beauty,
For
finding grace simply before Christ...
to
bend our heart’s knee.
You see...
It
all comes down to one clear, simple choice,
One
that God will record in ‘your
heart’s voice’.2
It’s
all about Jesus, what you’ll decide—
Him,
will you embrace, or Him will you deride?
The Bible...
God’s
movie trailer highlights of human
history.
Read
it often. Learn its Truth. Play your role heartily.
As
you read it, you it will read, reward
and record,
Whether
it you have adored, or it you have abhorred.

1 Rendering is the final step in producing a video.
2 Indeed,
your heart has a voice, and it speaks... through
your mouth.
(Proverbs 4:23, Matthew 12:34, Luke 6:45
