Wednesday’s Musings: Having a Lot of Try

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

What’s not to like about Dancing with the Stars? It has enjoyable music, fantastic costumes and beautiful dancing.  Best of all is the inspiring stories of the amateurs.
Even the least capable of those contestants are braver and better than most of the rest of us.  In a way I can relate to these dancers -  many of whom had never danced seriously before this show.  I took up horseback riding as an empty-nester wanting to fulfill a childhood dream.  Soon we had numerous professional trainers and were showing at breed shows across the country.  One of my trainers gave me one of the best compliments I’ve received when he said, “You have a lot of try in you.”  These dancers have a lot of “try” in them.  They try new things and keep going even in the face of discouragement.

Competitive dancing or horseback riding might not be for everyone.  Yet each person can do something new and exciting especially for the Kingdom of God if they are but willing to try and to look to Christ for strength.

Holy God, help us to be willing to step out of our comfort zones and try new things in all ages and stages of life. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,
Paige
