Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
Stick to the script, Dear Sister! Stick to the script! No actor becomes successful by showing up to the movie set without knowing the lines. They spend months studying and reviewing the provided script. They familiarize themselves with it knowing that the day is coming when the director will yell, "action", and they must be prepared for that moment. Can I suggest to you today that you need to do the same thing? You need to spend time studying the script! What's the script you ask? Well, Sis, it's the Word of God!
He has a script prepared for you so that you know exactly what to say when life yells, "Action"! He has laid out line by line what you need to say, how you need to reply, and even what you should express when the pressure is on and all lights are on you!
Don't you dare wait until the moment to try to come up with your own response. Don't try to wing it when the pressures of life invade your space. Spend some time right now reviewing the script, familiarizing yourself with what it says, and even memorizing your lines.
When you and your spouse are not on the same page - go back to the script.
When you and your spouse are encountering financial or emotional challenges - go back to the script.
When your children are not living up to their potential - go back to the script.
When you need to encourage and speak life to your spouse - go back to the script!
No matter what you are facing, God has laid out a perfect script for you to follow. He doesn't ask you to learn anyone else's lines. He just wants you to focus on your own. As the director, He knows the role that everyone needs to play in order for their to be an effective finished product. Your role is simply to spend time with the script and then stick to it when the time comes.
The cameras will roll. The curtain will come up. Will you be ready when He yells, "ACTION"?
