Driving past a slightly frozen pond the other day, I noticed some geese on the water, when something was sensed as a danger they did not hesitate, they all moved together and that was to flee the sensed danger.
In today's world we no not flock together often enough, and with our families before us, most turned to church and christian fellowship, but then came the sixties and the fatal shot was fired at the family. No longer would we conform to the standard of our parents and grandparents, it was time for me and self gratification not about an new sense of freedom as fed to us by satan and his henchman.
Gone were the days of innocence and wonder, gone were the days of trust, and along came corruption and greed. Now not all of this was bad, we did have some groovy music and the message of love everybody was good, not as it was intended, but where there was a new spiritual awakening. Many came to Christ as a result of the sixties, sensing danger they fled to the feet of the king for protection.
Without understanding why, even in the most condescending of times we seek answers from the Great I Am, some however will want immediate answers and when asked with an unclean heart may never hear his response use the opportunity to lead some astray. Do not be mislead by false prophets, said many of times throughout the old and new testaments.
Consider this, next time you go to start your car in the morning consider trying to understand, "Why it should start?" Do we really need to understand that process or do we just trust it to happen, just like thousands of times it has in the past?
Same goes with our faith, even though many have tried to destroy our faith they can not, no amount of Darwinism can do this. Now how would you explain that? Lets try this, "No man can destroy has been created by God". Not talking about physical things, I am talking about spiritual things, like faith. You may wage a battle to explain human accession from apes to the modern man, but how do you explain love and faith?
For those of us who have faced harm in battle or in foreign countries around the globe, we put our trust in SOP's, Standard Operating Procedures and General Orders. This coupled with our training saved many from physical harm. Just as there are countless stories of those in harms way who turned to prayer before engaging the ememy or heading out on their mission.
For me each day spent in the firehouse was another day to lean heavily on my faith and my limited understanding that God had a plan for my life and not just for one moment. Why was I spared harm when standing 10 feet from a loaded fuel with 6,000 gallons of explosive fuel on board and one set of it's rear wheels on fire, all that stood between me and it was a hoseline and water or for that matter any of a hundred times I answered the call and ran to danger while others ran away from it.
So what is to understand? We are all Gods children, some are more obediant than others, but we are all Gods children. Do you consider yourself obediant?
