One thing for certain, I dare say. . . .
Regardless of day to day, moment to moment details, one thing is consistently pre-eminent-- YOUR personal relationship with God.
Details change, but really, life is same as it ever was. . . . Nothing new under the sun. Whether you live in a slow time (lots of danger and potential opportunity for trouble there!) OR a speedy time (where chaos SEEMS to be taking center stage). . . . ACTUALLY, it really never changes. The challenges are always the same. DO YOU LOVE AND FEAR GOD ABOVE ALL!?
THAT . . . is all . . . and always . . . what matters. That's it. The rest is various nonsense and spiraling details--a kaleidoscope, an illusion. Greed, envy, anger, resentment, lust, distraction, lethargy, indulgence, self-aggrandizement, seductions toward a million and one things BESIDES pure and straight-up love and fear and gratitude and honor of God....are the usual suspects of any day.......
It's always the same story. Well, the COVER story changes constantly, like a river running by. But at the center of it all, you KNOW what this is all about! It's not about temporal security. Who didn't have a place to lay His head? You think YOU should?!
"Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." --Luke 9:58
