Something consequential to heart, something to keep the soul and the spirit far apart.  What could be written in these simple words that would provoke the world to action?  I don’t have that kind of authority or wordsmithability to evoke something so precious, appealing and entirely encouraging as to capture the attention of all who’ve heard it.  How then do we marshal testimony, provoke action, edify courage and tenacity to stand in winds our senior?

Can it be done by word, well the rappers are reaching millions of our children for their endeavors, perhaps I should learn that sort of word twist?  Or maybe I could spout hate and violence which draws millions to the theaters in a quest for manhood in the spectacle of lost life dominance?  Perhaps I should write fantasy fiction of gods and evil empires, elves, dwarves and hybrid humans, for that seems to attract millions of eager viewers.  Or better yet I should talk of aliens, cannibalistic risen dead or some alternate universe where we can all have our needs provided for by electric flowers and water that fills all your calories requirements without fat?

What is it with me that I am concentrating on the reality of the issues we face when I could easily use some platform far more effective at reaching a much broader spectrum of people?  Am I that daft, that I would rather sing into the farm yard with few friends and chickens pecking then be a spectacle for those to view as something comedic, salacious or chaos provocative?  Adjust for the audience they say, adjust for the audience.

If I become the center of attention and I have to utilize, sex, popularity, fantasm, wizardy or violence to deliver the message I have been given to speak, what then does it say in my resolve, my determination and surety that this message is the righteous truth that should reach all with ears to hear its call?  I am just repeating a wonderful message written by the Creator of the Universe, given me to speak because that is who he chose to say it, in this body, this set of talents or lack there of, this set of circumstances with this limited capacity at delivery.  Do I doubt Him so that I believe His choices ill suited for merchandising this message?

No, this is what I’ve got and if perchance He wants me to have greater breadth, depth or audience, then He will make it happen.  I am content in the Word I’ve been given to read from.  I am overwhelmed at the majesty and kindness of its purpose and content of its story line.  This is the message meant for all, regardless of place, people’s purposes or passion.  This is the Word Smythed before the beginnings of time for each of us to hear, ingest and take that glorious action availed to all to make a choice of whom we serve.  So listen to me, I hope that you do.  Adjust the message looking for a larger crowd, I cannot. For even if He gives me one heart to whom I ought speak, I would give the same message to a million.  God save you all through Jesus Christ the King.
