God's TV

God's TV

Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. ~Romans 12:2

  I have mentioned how I want to include music into the blog and this song and artist is one that I have wanted to do for awhile now.  The artist is Dave Pettigrew and his song is God’s TV.  It is an amazing song and one of my favorite songs. Not just by him but of all time. I have put a video of Dave singing the song below and also the song lyrics. You can decide to either listen to the song first, then read the blog or read the blog then hear the song. I hope you all will find the blessings from his music ministry. 

    Reality shows are very popular and it seems like everyone has one now a days. I must admit I am a reality show junkie. I am not proud of that but there is something that just draws people in and it is not always the good things of the peoples lives but their problems and issues that draws people in. People thrive when they see their lives in a downward spiral and are battling it out. It is a sad state of affairs when ratings are bigger when their lives are at a low point then when they are doing well. 

      Imagine that your life is now a reality show. How would you come across to the people that tune in to watch your show? Would you be a decent person, who seeks the right things or will it show that your not kind and someone who seeks to destroy people then build them up? Well, here is the thing, the reality is that your life is a reality show. It is shown on God’s TV and He can tune in directly whenever He wants, 24/7 365 days a year. What is He seeing? What is the script that you have written each day to live? How is your life being shown? 

        The questions that I asked are ones we do need to ask ourselves over and over again.  Is our life filled with all the good things that He wants for us and our life is like Joseph’s Coat and we are filmed in color of all of the joy and love that God shines through us, or, is it in black and white where we just go through the emotions and do not allow God’s light shine through us. When we do not let that light shine, we are living that black and white life. We are living that bland colorless life. Who is helping us write the script of our life show? Is it the world that we let write it or God, Jesus and Holy Spirit? When we let the world at large dictate our lives and write it for us, we lose in the end. When we allow God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and those Christ centered family and friends help us write it, it will be a life that is worth God to smile on and tune in. Not saying that when we sin, He turns it off but the reception between us gets fuzzy on our end. 

          Think how you feel when you sit down, have your favorite snack and drink and are ready to watch your favorite show and as it comes on its a repeat? I know that “Ohhh man!!!!” comes out of my mouth. Now, think how God is watching us make the same mistakes or sins over and over again? I wonder does He say . “Here we go again” and “I hope this is the last time this is being shown”. It is easy to forget how many times we repeat the same sin over and over again. We can push it aside because we do not see it as over and over, a repeat, but just a falling. We will fall and sin will happen but think if you saw yourself doing it again and again. What would you say to yourself? We all have to learn from our falls so that we can help prevent them in the future. The difference with God seeing it and those around us, is that God can see in our hearts and sees if we are really trying and sorry. 

       When we decide to open our hearts, mind and soul to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we are starting new and it is a new season in our lives. A season of change is happening. We may have had to change some of the other people in our lives. Some may have less of an impact in our lives and others have a bigger role in our lives. Our lives become more of an impact in the world, then the world having a greater impact on ours. We have new scripts that we are writing with a new purpose in our lives. It will be a life that is worth watching again. God will be pleased to see this life unfold before His eyes again. 

        Unlike reality shows, God can see all that we do. The good and bad. There is no one editing our lives to show just one side of us. The 168 hours a week we live, is not edited to and hour segment. Think if that is how it was for a minute? What if someone did that for God? Someone else decides what to show of our lives. Now what if we got to edit our lives to show God? Of course we would put our best moments out there. God doesn’t edit our lives but we can edit Him in our lives. We can choose what areas of our lives we let Him in. When we allow God, Jesus and Holy Spirit into our lives and help script our lives then we are not editing Them out of it. We are including Them and when we do that then our lives become more of a reflection of our true selves that God intended us to be and not the worlds. 

       God has always been our Biggest Fan and wants our lives to be a hit. There is nothing more we could ask for. We decide if our lives are worthy or not. We write the script and decide who does or does not help us with it. The song “God’s TV” is a reminder to me on how my life is out there and it is being watched. Not only from those around me but God and heaven as well. I need that reminder. There is not a week and sometimes a day that goes by that I am not listening to this song to remind me of it. Dave Pettigrew is an amazing musician and his music will inspire you to praise God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He is using the talents God has given to him. His web address is www.davepettigrew.net. You will not be disappointed. 

Until tomorrow, God Bless, and live your life as you want it to show on God’s TV.

GOD’S TV (Di Minno/Pettigrew)
If my life’s a show on God’s TV
I wonder if it’s shot in color Sometimes I feel so black and white All the episodes on my weekly show Used to capture all the ratings
When the writers got it right
When He’s watching, I’ll be waiting Wondering if He’ll ever watch again
CAMERAS READY, LOOK ALIVE
HIDE YOUR SCRIPTS WE’RE COUNTING DOWN IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE THE PROGRAM’S JUST BEGUN
BUT WE INTERUPT THIS SCHEDULED SHOW

YOU’VE BEEN WITH US SINCE WE BEGAN
YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN OUR BIGGEST FAN
THANKS FOR TUNING IN TONIGHT
And if my life’s a show on God’s TV He must be tired of the re-runs
The same thing every night
All the comedy & the tragedy Stopped being entertaining
He fell asleep on the satellite
I can’t blame Him, it gets boring
Watching the same thing over and over again
CAMERAS READY, LOOK ALIVE
HIDE YOUR SCRIPTS WE’RE COUNTING DOWN IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE THE PROGRAM’S JUST BEGUN

SOLO
If my life’s a show on God’s TV
I bet he’ll love the brand new season

The old writers are gone, the characters strong Something finally well worth watching
A new twist on a copyright

So much drama, laughter, action
The story’s unfolding over & over again
CAMERAS READY, LOOK ALIVE

BUT WE INTERUPT THIS SCHEDULED SHOW
TO BRING YOU SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
YOU’VE BEEN WITH US SINCE WE BEGAN
