Which Audience Are U Playing To?
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by
the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God's
will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2
What audience do you play to? Each day you are seen by many who will make a
judgment about the way you handle yourself among different audiences.
Politicians have learned to play to their audiences, customizing messages
for
the needs of their particular groups. Musicians have learned to play to
their
audiences. Priests play to their congregations each Sunday morning.
Businesspeople play to the audiences who will buy their product.
God has called us to play to one audience - the audience of Himself. When
you
seek to please any other audience in your life, you become susceptible to
situational ethics and motivations based on the need for the moment. Your
audience becomes a pawn in your hands because you know what they want. Is
that
wrong? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
Pure obedience to pleasing God in our lives will often meet the needs of
those
around us. It is God's will that you and I love our spouses, provide good
services to our customers, and look to the interests of others before
ourselves. This will result in meeting many needs of the audiences in our
lives.
However, there are other times when our audiences are asking for something
contrary to God's will. Politicians are often forced to appease their
audiences, even though it may go against God's laws. When we are asked to go
with the flow, we discover which audience is most important in our lives. Is
it
the audience of One, or the audience of many?
Today, be aware of which audience you are playing to. Ask yourself why you
are
taking a particular action. Is it to please the audience of One? Or is it to
please the audience of others who might negatively impact you should you not
play to their tune?
With prayers,
Sanath Henry(Kollam)
