Play Your Part

... Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth.... - Matthew 1:5

"Sight and Sound" Theatre, fairly well known around the U. S., is located only a few miles from where I used to live in central Pennsylvania. The company is well-known for their elaborate productions and "wrap-around" staging. What they are not known for is stars or famous personalities. You see, no where in any of their printed material will you find profiles of the actors as you do in other theatrical productions. Each actor appears anonymously it seems, in order that God might be the true star of the show.

A few years ago, after the viewing the performance of "Ruth," I was reminded that in God's eternal plan there are many anonymous actors whose lives are nonetheless vital to the telling and accomplishment of "His-story." Each person's contribution makes a difference, an eternal difference.

Let each of us play our part well.

God's providence is not blind, but full of eyes. - John Whittier Greenleaf
