Absent this Wondrous Solid Foundation which surpasses ages, I would be pulled to and fro by your consistent desire to feed me folly. Why move a bush around the yard each day when your objective is its long slow maturation bearing fruit at the time and season? Some things are reasonable ammunition in argument that contends vacillation as norm. No one wants to be dragged from valley to mountain peak simply for the sake of seeing the next sunrise. There must be content and nutrition in the Bread we’re fed or we simply pursue riches designated their importance by man or myth. Fortunately for mankind there is some immutable ground upon which to make a stand for this life and the next.
I get it, you want people to proclaim your wisdom from footstep to forestall. How limiting the desire to be found wise after you’ve expired life by people reading your missives to repeat slogans, mantras and rhetoric that gives them some secret wisdom into the chess game of Life. Small question; wouldn’t it behoove all players to visit the creator of all things first to see if there exists and manual for the machinery? So rather than accept creation we are now going to say that we are the creators because we have defined the components of life and now feel the mastery coming upon us in enlightenment that we will somehow be able to make a machine think and call that Life. Why imitate the Father of all things when you may have unlimited access to discuss the mysteries of the Life He gave to all things. It just seems an inadequate choice based on faulty thinking to go it ourselves when the “Watchmaker” is making Himself available to all who reach out to him in passion and humility.
My desire to be the smartest guy was short lived and died unmercifully when the Female of our species slew him as he quested for her validation, approval and eventual adoration. Being smart has no reward other than personal unless it is embraced with the humility of purpose given it by those who know God gave it for a reason. Having talent is a responsibility to either consume that talent for self enlargement or to wield it with fealty to the Maker by employing it to see the most fed, refined, edified and then receiving the greater measure of subsequent reward in seeing a city climb the mountain to see the same sunrise you felt compelled to visit those lost days of youth and philosophy. We are presented with the dire message of time and reason that problems are indeed real and may not be solved without careful thinking and action. Some problems we have come to accept are beyond the scope of human intervention. Spinning on a pebble in space travelling 1000 MPH we are loath to entertain ourselves masters of a future on this planet without God’s direction or intervention. It was only one hundred years ago we invented the combustion engine now we believe ourselves capable of mastering Quantum Energies and nuclear interactions that power the universe without even acknowledging the massive intelligence it took God to create them.
I understand I am a fool, most men are, but I am not a big fool who cannot see his own folly. Humanity must be done looking at itself in the mirror of desired admiration and wake up to the facts that women don’t much like the man who cannot get over his own reflection and that men are here for Babies and protection and provision. Once accepting this inevitable Human drive we are faced with the maturation required of each man in his own evolution through trials that once we have created life as God bid us create we must then take care of it as it for the first period of its life cannot care for itself. What lay outside of God’s intention for my creation is really for him to pursue or direct. I don’t need to know all things to be a good man, I don’t need to be God to Love Him and I certainly don’t need to play with matches to understand how it feels to be burned or ignite those precious things in my stewardship. This life is mostly about Choice and the Choice I have made is to serve God’s Will for my Life, the Lives of those in my sphere of responsibility and to see that will fulfilled in the future of mankind.
