On my calendar, Oct. 12th, was a date that was scheduled with a lot of anticipation. Me and my great buddy, Dane Blankenship, had tickets to go see our favorite band U2 at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. This was a two fold experience. Not only were we going to get to see the new Stadium but get to see U2. Well, being good stewards of our money we bought the cheapest tickets in the place which put us on the top row in top section of this massive structure. This stadium holds 100,000 so as you can imagine Bono looked like an ant on the stage from our seats. Not being able to see him very well didn't bother me because we went to here the music not look at them. However, they didn't have enough sound to fill that enormous room and from where we were sitting we couldn't understand a word Bono was saying and there was a delay on all the sound. We would see Larry Mullen hit the drums on the big screens but then hear the drum beat a second later. All in all in made for a mess of noise that we were obviously too far from the action to hear it clearly.
Think for a minute about your life and your walk with the Lord. Are there times where you cannot seem to hear Him clearly and it seems that it is all just a mess of noise? Quick question, "Are you too far from the action?" God wants you to draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. My challenge for you, do whatever it takes to and go to whatever extreme you must to get closer to the action so that you can hear Him clearly.
Yes, it was disappointing to anticipate this event for over 6 months and then not be able to hear it clearly. What would be worse, would be to live your life, get to the end and realize that you could have done and experienced so much more with God but you were hanging out too far from the action.
