After an extended drought, many embrace a keen interest looking for any hope of rain. After waiting, one may judge who chose to dance, sing, praise, and call out for rain. As if the sheer audacious plan could somehow break the fast of the scorching sun.
It is incredible the things done by believing.
As a sidebar, archaeologists spend months and years searching and digging for history that confirms or challenges conventional thinking. Though thousands of years lay hidden beneath the earth for discovery, once found reveals more mystery and the truth for telling.
Yet, always many similarities connect past to present as if only a blink had caused the separation.
Man is forever searching for answers and looking for a deeper meaning to understanding humankind. The underlying tensions divide the unity of nations who fight to survive—individuals who crusade without fear. Indeed there have been many persuasions to instill a legendary conquering.
Today we are experiencing a crucial transition from effortless progressive ease to unsettling social experiments. What once we observed as fictional television and disturbing documentaries about other nations has become our normalized filtering into privacy.
The secret hidden things are not personal anymore, and some conspiracy theories have exposed reality. So where does that leave you and me?
If you draw a line in the sand, you must decide what you will not cross or compromise.
There is a hazardous playing field separating the group into definitive battlefields.
They are making a mockery of common sense and justifying lousy behavior as rational exploration.
If you have existed on a diet of social and mainstream media, you might lean into believing all the conflicting information, although confusing, had you rattling. Like lining all your ducks in a row and leading them to a busy highway expecting to cross safely. Fact or fantastical? You may feel dope and up to speed with all the latest, or you could be dependent and lost. Life is too short to procrastinate and let others hold the bait that leads to slaughter. Be smart, be wise, choose to think things through, and investigate to seek the truth.
You could wait for others to bring the confirmation of the ticking time bomb that is closer now to the expiration. Climate change is seducing and manipulating an increasing opportunity for delinquency as radical change is extreme and lost at times in translation.
Do all these interactions interweave and end up in the same sea? Okay, if you have gotten this far, you must be curious to see where this is heading. Please feel free to enter the room with the new, improved version of the story.
Your faith and trust (confidence and hope) require a foundation of unconditional love—Only-begotten from God through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Not religious dogma, indeed a personal, relational, intimately acquainted transformational orientation. Spiritual connection is sublime.
Can you imagine life raised on many different beliefs and viewpoints? Going from one to the other back and forward, left and right. You would be left sorely confused, amiss in life and death—a casualty of many chiefs trying to accumulate information for enlightenment. Instead, left somewhat unhinged. You have a responsibility to owe it to yourself. Take up your cross and follow me was and still is a hopeful invitation. What is your cross? Is it your confusion, addiction, fear, failure, anxiety, or burdens? You have a choice to leave behind the unwanted shackles of accumulated narratives that have hooked you into a sea of turmoil. If you were a swimmer in a race to win, you would be foolish to cross lanes to reach the finish.
Likewise, if you drank from a clean well and an unclean every day, you would get sick.
Using a hammer to drive the nails to secure the build would be useless without nails to hammer, eventually destroying what meant to stand.
So, my conclusion is, while waiting for rain, do not seek many forms of shelter as in doing so, you will miss the rainbow, and the rain that comes after a drought is the most beautiful.
The farmer understands the turmoil and suffering when waiting for rain and crops to yield—likewise, the payoff arrives suddenly through stages of struggle and strain—exposed to a continuing revealing of God's divine goodness and grace waiting to be made known.
May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace! Psalm 28:7
Remember, Relax, Dream Big!
