In His Court, Your Play Is Now

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV). "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens." This verse suggests a proper time for everything, implying that "your play" or your time to act or make a difference is now. It reinforces the idea that we are all in God's court, where each moment and every activity has its designated time.

There's a court where we all find ourselves – a court ordained by the Most High. We're the players assembled for the most important match of our lives. It's a game where every decision and every move matters. The ball is in your court, and the whistle for your play has blown. But are we truly ready to seize the moment and make our play?

Often, we find ourselves waiting, anticipating the perfect timing for everything. We stand frozen on the spot, cradling the ball, squinting at the goal, and waiting for that 'right moment' to make our move. There is no 'right moment'— only when you decide to act. That moment could be now.

There's a profound revelation in God's timing that all time is now. From God's perspective, there's no yesterday, no tomorrow, only the eternal now. The heavenly court operates in this ‘now'—every moment is the moment of creation, and every second is the dawn of new possibilities. When we align ourselves with this divine timing, we recognize that the whistle for our play has already blown, and it's up to us to make a move.

Every turn we take brings us closer to scoring in the game of life. Procrastination only distances us from the goal. But acting, embracing the 'now,' propels us forward, setting us on a trajectory towards victory. Remember, the Creator has handed you the ball, and the field is wide open. It's up to you to dribble, dodge, and drive toward the goal.

In this heavenly court, your play isn't just about winning or losing; it's about participating, engaging, and growing. The Most High isn't a distant observer but an active coach, guiding and shaping you through every challenge and triumph. When you act, you become a co-creator, aligning your will with the divine will, merging your story with the universe's grand narrative.

Accordingly, my friends, let's break free from the shackles of waiting for the 'right time.' Let's understand that in His court, your play is now. The court is ready, the spectators are waiting, and the clock is ticking. Don't just stand there holding the ball— take the shot. You've been trained for this moment, equipped for this play, and the whistle has already blown. The time for waiting is over. The time for playing has begun. The ball is in your court, and your play is now. So, what's your next move going to be? The choice is yours. Don't just dream of the play— make it.
