As a theatre minor, I'm familiar with the glare of the spotlight--that rush that comes before you enter stage right or left, where you completely fear forgetting your lines. And then as you step out into the light...the character takes over you and for a brief moment you become Betty, the coal miner's daughter, an emotional wreck and a struggling single mom.
Isn't that a lot like our view of life? We play different characters--desperately seeking the one that fits us best. You know that one that feels the most natural, the most like who we think we are. Sometimes we forget who is in charge of the casting, the directing, the staging...GOD. Christ is the real star and sometimes we just need to Clear the Stage so that He can perform.

Clear the Stage (Song by King Ross)
Take a break from all the plans that you made
And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper.
Beg Him please to open up his mouth and speak
And pray for real upon your knees until they blister.
Shine the light on every corner of your life
Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open.
Then read the word and put to test the things you've heard
Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken.
Cause you can sing all you want to.
Yes you can sing all you want to
you can sing all you want to
But don't get me wrong, worship is more than a song.
You can sing all you want to, but don't get me wrong...WORSHIP is more than a song...
