Part of the Story

When God made space and worlds that move in space, and clothed our world with air, and gave us such eyes and such imagination as those we have, He knew that the sky would mean to us. And since nothing in His work is accidental, if He knew, He intended.
- C.S. Lewis

What would happen if we were to live each day as if we were in an epic story? A story so grand, it has its own history and books already started. A story that contains each of us as essential characters within the thin pages of the beautiful, large, leather-bound book. Filled with elegant handwriting and stories so beloved, the passages would be detailed and complete, yet it would be unfinished. Pages continue to be added each day, and the story is continuing.

We are in the epic story. The Story. It is not something that only took place in the past, but it is still going on. Do we think of our every day lives as being part of the grand story?

Make no mistake, the story is grand, but that doesn't mean you have to be grand in the sense that our world thinks. You are important just the way you are; you are an essential piece that no one else can be. But do you live each day like it is a new page? Or do you look at the day as mundane and you find yourself counting the days to the weekend,? Days like a pass-through entity?

We are not told to do important things only on the weekend. That seems like nonsense. We are given each day to do important things. Each day we are set with the task of using the gifts God has given to do good works.

Here is your next day. Your next page. How are you going to fill the page?
