9/19/12 Successful
businesses have attendance policies. Attendance is seen as an integral part of
a good work ethic. Sometimes an unstated, but real, expectation.
Class attendance. An
important facet of education. ADA (Average Daily Attendance) results in rewards
($$) from the state because the Department of Education knows how importance
attendance is for learning. After 42 years in education, I know that to be
true.
Learning and growth occur
when one is attending. Present. Focusing. In
the realm of education, attendance is both a physical and a mental act. The
same is true in the spiritual realm.
attenDANCE! Time alone
with the Lord. Necessary for instructions in each “dance of life” which one
faces. Only the Lord God knows
these steps. It’s the dance He has planned. He wants to lead you. Following
requires attenDANCE.
attenDANCE!! How long has
it been? Darkened the doors of a church lately? (Hebrews 10:25) How else can
one spur others on to love and good deeds if we’re not in attendance. (Hebrews
10:24)
attenDANCE!!! How long has it been? To dance with Him, one must “show
up.” This attenDANCE requires our participation, both individually and
corporately.
