I’m currently hooked on my wii fit game. Especially this morning, when my tv screen showed the little wii balance board put on a party hat and wave to me and wish me a happy 44th birthday. (Yes, it’s the little things in life!)
One of the things that I appreciate the most about wii fit is the feedback. When I do an exercise, the balance board is continuously sensing where my body is and showing me this yellow circle that represents where I want my body to be and then a moving red dot of where my body actually is. Being able to see that circle and that dot makes a huge difference between the wii fit and just following along an exercise DVD. Instead of just seeing someone else, you see where YOU want to be and have the feedback of where YOU are, which gives you both a goal and the knowledge (and satisfaction) of when you’re within that goal.
Yes, having a wii-fit game is an awesome tool for toning up my body, but what about toning up my life? Wouldn’t it be great to have a “wii life” game that I could strap on and take with me everywhere? As I go through my day, whether I’m stuck in traffic, trying to figure out what to do with a patient, listening to my wife, or talking with my kids, there would be my wii life game showing me on a screen, ”Here’s the circle where you need to be, and here you are with this little red dot.” I would always have a clear vision of where I needed to be, and continuous feedback of where I was in relation to where I needed to be. I can hear the little wii voice now: “Be a little more patient here, little less self-centered there, oh, you’re right where you need to be on love, shift left, shift right, alright, great job!”
But do I really need a video game to employ this concept in my life? If I am willing to listen to the voice of God, will He not be willing to show me my circle and my dot? I have the Bible and the Spirit to guide me minute by minute if I am willing to listen. As I seek to know God better everyday, to love Him, to abide in Him, to walk with Him, I will daily be better able to sense where my spirit is in relation to where God wants me to be. That’s what God truly desires for my life, and I don’t even need a TV screen to do it.
