Shaken but Not Broke

God knew it would take a few slight to severe Stomps to reach the core of our existence where His Living Words could ferment New-Life. God’s Love is the reason why our sinful actions must be accounted for and laid to rest; His Love will not Function-in-Folly or Freaky attitudes derived to break our relations with God. The Lord Loves in a very special way, so amazing, even the Devil is allotted time on Earth.

The world is constantly searching for ways to fill time and space with reasons to Follow-the-Flow. The brilliant mass between our ears is gullible; what one Hears and Sees imbeds itself in thoughts which our body acts out, without proper guidance those actions could blindly offend God. The Body-of-Christ is uniquely armed with Wisdom for every offensive cast upon its shoulders; empowered are those who are Rattled-by-Truth and Survive-in-Faith.

Then shall the righteous one with great assurance confront his oppressors who set at nought his labors. Seeing this, the wicked shall be shaken with dreadful fear, and be amazed at the unexpected salvation. They shall say among themselves, rueful and groaning through anguish of spirit: “This is the one whom once we held as a laughingstock and as a type for mockery, fools that we were! His life we accounted madness and death dishonored. See how he is accounted among the heavenly beings; how his lot is with the holy ones!
We, then, have strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine for us, and the sun did not rise for us. We were entangled in the thorns of mischief and of ruin; we journeyed through trackless deserts, but the way of the Lord we never knew. What did our pride avail us? What have wealth and its boastfulness afforded us.
All of them passed like a shadow and like a fleeting rumor; Like a ship traversing the heaving water: when it has passed, no trace can be found, no path of its keel in the waves.
Or like a bird flying through the air; no evidence of its course is to be found— But the fluid air, lashed by the beating of pinions, and cleft by the rushing force
Of speeding wings, is traversed; and afterward no mark of passage can be found in it. Or as, when an arrow has been shot at a mark, the parted air straightway flows together again so that none discerns the way it went—Even so, once born, we abruptly came to nought and held no sign of virtue to display but were consumed in our wickedness.”

Yes, the hope of the wicked is like chaff borne by the wind, and like fine, storm-driven snow; Like smoke scattered by the wind, and like the passing memory of the nomad camping for a single day. But the righteous live forever, and in the Lord is their recompense, and the thought of them is with the Most High. (Wisdom 5:1-15 NABRE)

Set your presence with and in His Living Words; wisdom that flows on the behalf of Almighty-God. We are fortunate to be prospecting in Jesus’s name; searching for righteousness in our modern society takes True-Valor that exists amongst believers. Our Lord seeks lifetime worship no matter what is happening in the moment there’s a reason its season.
