Elvis was quite a superstar. Gone from this earth at an early age, many can remember the day they heard the news that he was dead. Indeed he had a superb voice and he was quite the entertainer. Most of the rest of us would like to be able to sing like him, but alas, we all sound like goats. Why didn't we all take voice lessons? Did Elvis? Or was he simply naturally gifted. I'm sure Elvis had voice coaches and spent many hours practicing and rehearsing. No one really knows how much time and work Elvis had to put into practicing for each show. We all just look at his fame and fortune, not to mention his sparkling wardrobe. Did Elvis eventually think too much of himself? Did he fall into self worship? What an easy trap that can be. We all do it. How much time do you spend in front of the mirror admiring yourself? Bet you do it several times daily and don't even realize it. How easy is it to love ourselves above all else. Even more than God. Why? Because we can see ourselves but we can't see God. God did reveal himself to us however. Simply open up the Bible and you see...God! And you see his human manifestation - Jesus Christ. Amazing if you think about it. God knew that we would want to know him and "see" him. So he orchestrated an amazing plan to leave heaven and come down to earth and be a part of the world he created. Interestingly, he didn't come down as royalty, but in poverty. Can you relate to that? Do you think he can relate to you? Elvis was amazing. God is more amazing. I hope Elvis knew God. Too late for him. What about you? Where is your focus? If you are like me, you sing like a goat, but you are a precious thing to God. Will the world ever forget Elvis? Not until the end.
