Game Show in My Head

Saturday night I was back in our room, doing my usual blog stalking, when I hear Chase hysterically laughing in the living room.  He calls for me and tells me I have to come see this game show he's watching.  Neither one of us had ever seen it.  It's called "Game Show in My Head" and, as described on the CBS website, is "a hidden-camera game show in which contestants wear an earpiece as they go about life in the city and are instructed back in the studio by Rogan. If the contestants can perform crazy, outrageous and often embarrassing tasks in public, they can go home with big money. However, if they fail to perform one task, they'll lose all the money they earned thus far and go home empty handed. It's all about how far the contestants are willing to go to win GAME SHOW IN MY HEAD."  Chase and I had a good laugh watching it.

We had a great church service Sunday morning and we both left feeling challenged to hear and see God clearer in our lives.  As we were driving home, Chase started talking about how our lives are like that game show.  God speaks to us and we just have to listen and act on it. And our reward is so much greater than money.  And we NEVER go home empty handed.  Yet we make it so much more difficult, or we are scared we might seem crazy.  On the game show,  they do all sorts of embarrassing things for MONEY.  What a challenge that is for me.  Am I willing to be embarrassed for God, if that's what might happen by obeying Him?  If He were to ask me to approach a stranger and pray for them, would I?  Or would I be afraid of what that person would think, ignore His voice, and continue about my day?  I know my reward is great and I know bringing glory to Him is my ultimate goal.  But am I willing to be like the contestants on that show and go to whatever lengths to get my reward?

I'm not sure if this makes any sense to anyone but me! But I'm feeling challenged right now and thought I would share it on here!
