The world inhales and exhales as current events and trends seem to shift like a breathing man. Amidst a season of wars, racial instability, financial depression, enormous storms and hurricanes, the fight over the viability of an unborn child, or the right to defend oneself using potentially lethal means, and then there’s this ever-looming global financial crisis that nobody wants to talk about, … life sputters along.
Whether a its a Rugby match, or discovery on our Martian planet,- between baseball, basketball and football,- while Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins dances, Halloween, Veterans Day, and a lackluster election season,..normalcy reigns in the ranks of most North Americans. We seem to be oblivious to the 100’s of 1,000’s of refugees fleeing evil-hooded death/war mongering. We seem to have no problem sleeping as millions are caught in the trap of Human Trafficking and slavery. Our homes are getting bigger at the same rate our homeless population swells like a bloated cow, waiting for someone to run up and kick it. A hornets nest of political wedges are forcing friend and foe to polarize at the risk of compromising ones’ status quo based position.
What has happened?
I thought we were to evolve into some incredible super-race? I thought the selection process was going to de-select some of us? I thought our grandchildren were going to be raised in a utopian society without crime and self indulgence where a socialistic balance had been struck among nations and we all wore drab gray Sari’s and we hummed along our merry little way,,,. So I thought.
Perhaps the 2nd law of thermal dynamics included us too, not just nature. Maybe all thing were created in a state of order and headed towards chaos. Agent 86 was right in fixing his targeted mind upon Chaos as the most predictable enemy we could imagine?
What happened to us?
How did things unravel so quickly? Especially when we felt we had control of both the horizontal and the vertical. We were prepared for some outer limits catastrophe to invade our perfect little lifes with our 2.3 kids, Sparky in the back yard, the new Volvo waiting to be “handled”, that job that’s gonna get us somewhere, our that new physique that’s taken years to perfect,…. If only we could reduce that BMI to 5%!
These perfect lives never were. Living the vida dolce ended up being more like vida loca or vida poopoo….. All because…. What? Here it comes.
We thought it was all about us. Boy were we/ are we… Wrong.
God made you for his pleasure. Revelation 4:11 says, “For you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Look around at the universe. God made everything you see for his own enjoyment. Now look at yourself in a mirror. God made you to enjoy you. It’s why you were created.
The bloated cow is decaying as we worship it. We run to it to touch it, because it had some sort of promise attached to it. Unfortunately for us, we trip and fall face first into it and our heads are covered in blood and guts and we and our companions are all along the roadside giving it the ole el vomito!
Here’s what the wise ones tell us: Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Run to Him and flee the common that’s has been corrupted.
Run to Him and find safety and shelter.
Run to Him and be safe.
