Priorities change…but they are not mine. Just when you think you got it planned out…fate throws you a curveball. Through this blog, my poor man’s ministry, I have been trying to build on a foundation.
A foundation built on rock & good soil, with fresh clear
water flowing & lush trees surrounding.
I have seen this creation, built by men & women long ago…the river
is unbroken & the trees stand tall.
To build on this foundation is not easy…. & many have
failed. But many, many more have been
successful & that makes the foundation stronger & easier to contribute
too. A strong foundation can withstand
the weight of many additions…but one must watch for cracks that stress its
strength.
These words, like all the others on this blog, are there for
reasons I do not always understand. But
I know this…everyone of them has been read by multitudes of people, some
obviously more than others, & for that I have the understanding that what
is given must be returned…or more is not given.
Some who read these, or other words are confused. Some of the simplest & most widespread
messages mankind knows…are lost in a translation of deception. Not my words…I am alive to explain, defend
& celebrate my own words…but ancient words, left misunderstood &
unsolved in their meaning. All I can say
is that when the Lord sees fit for us to understand all the mysteries of this
life…we will.
As part of adding to the foundation of Faith that has been
established in this world, I wonder how best to build my own addition, as we
all have, in establishing a comfortable life for ourselves & loved ones.
Throughout history we see the conflicts that arise when two or
more foundations meet or when established foundations are stressed &
crowded. Nobody is right if we are all
wrong & nobody is wrong when they feel they are right. So where does the truth lie? Buried in a crypt with words no one
understands? Or in simple manuscripts of
wisdom & history to guide us on our journey of right & wrong.
Everyday I wake up I wonder what to say. Do I share old words or new? Often time dictates, as repeating words is
fast & easy…creation takes time. And
as I think about the day ahead, I realize there is so much more than sharing
words, old or new, in some machine-driven electronic cloud. I often wonder who reads these words, but
only because I can’t look a machine in the eye.
A machine has no soul…you do. A
machine can lie & get away with it because it has the ultimate cold dark
stare. A machine has no feelings because
it has no soul to drive its spirit…you do.
So, as I have said before I realized long ago words are
cheap…actions take & have costs.
Words can be a twisted mystery; actions are documented history. But in this world, we have more than just
words & actions of an emotional & physical reality…we also have the
words & actions that speak & guide us to an unknown & unseen
future, a future that was sealed long before the beginning of time, as we know
it.
As part of my journey in this life I realized I needed to
act to prove my worth in this world. I
strived to do the simple things others overlooked to stand out from a crowded
field. I learned that the subtle approach
works better than force, as I tried to live the words I read & wrote. We live in confusing & dangerous times,
to some…but to others what is happening in our world today is clear as a bell
& we rest easy knowing the eventual outcome of any conflict, be it personal
or global…is in the Hands of a Loving & Caring Father God, His Son Jesus
Christ, His Army of Angels & us as the Church in Prayer.
Do not be afraid of these times, reflect on them & continue to build your foundation of Faith. Use the words of the past to console you, use the words of the present to guide you, but always remember your actions build a strong foundation, let your actions be of Peace & Love will follow. (Revelations 20:7). ✨✝️🕊️
