Choreography

A choreographer is key to any kind of dance—hip-hop, ballet, rock or just a background ensemble in a stage play and other events.  

He plans, composes, and arranges the sequence of steps and moves of dancers, making sure the steps go with the rhythm of sound or music. 

Without a choreographer, there would be chaos—each dancer would be doing his own thing to his own beat. A dancer therefore needs to train continually so he could perform with an ensemble that executes the choreographer’s concept.   

In the same vein, have we ever thought of God as our Choreographer? 

Life is actually a dance. We need to learn steps in sync with His Word, so that we can move to the rhythm of His will.  

We have missteps along the way, but if we continually train to perform His commands and know them by heart, we delight our Choreographer.  

What important steps do we need in our dance of life?   

“You must love the Lord your God and always obey his requirements, decrees, regulations, and commands.” (Deuteronomy 11:1 NLT) 

“Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.” (2 John 6) 

What training must we go through to internalize these steps?  

"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24-25)

“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” (Joshua 1:8) 

Like training in dance, we have to rehearse the steps and movements over and over again till they become a part of us.   

Thoughts to ponder: 

What is my level of intimacy with God’s Word? How is my regular reading of Scripture training me to do the steps God has demonstrated to me?
