Considerations...

 

There's a storm coming...

For many, it's already here.

I keep saying the world has gone mad, and the next day it doubles down on the day before.

The Red Skies of Morning seem to get bloodier, and deeper, and darker, by the day.

Like an endless freight train with too much inertia and mass, speeding down a large grade. Sparks flying from the wheels, and cars pushing and shoving one another and stretching links to the point of breaking.

How does one process this overload and stay on the road of sanity, avoiding the extremes of distractions on either side, and hedging against the mental and spiritual fatigue of the onslaught of the world's intrusions and information overload?

It's times like these that I seek solitude, prayer, and the word, for all Salient and Intrinsic considerations...


To focus and meditate on what is important, like Mary with Jesus, and not like Martha.

There is no other way.

To dance or wrestle with the world, is to degrade your footing in days when you must Stand Firm on the Rock and not relent, compromise, or engage in frivolous battles.

So... What are your priorities?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice at all times. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 5:15-20 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 10:25 Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
