Walk Away and Walk Away

by

Walk away.

Walk Away!

Just get out of there,

Lest you get hurt.

That thing’s bound to fall.

It will render what’s tall,

To a red spot,

Right there in the dirt!

The man took the heed,

Put air ‘gainst his knees,

Obeying the need,

To “Walk Away”.
—————–
Now another man heard

What seemed quite absurd;

“Walk away from that sin,

And you’ll live”.

“I can’t leave my mind!

The place where I find,

Temptation lays

Waiting in blind.”

Then the Lord, in his

Excellent wisdom

Spoke clear:

I’ll tell you straight to

What I mean.

Do not think your feet

Must straight pace away.

Do not give a place

For obscene.

But dwell hard

On the things

That are clean.
———–
One walked away.

Then twas two

Walked away.

Each of them finding

A bright and clear day.

A man and his God

Taking care what they say.

That life may come,

Raining down.
———–
One man may grab

The TV remote,

Changing channels,

He thinks he is fine.

Another man turns

The stupid thing off,

Letting  Holy

Fill his weak mind.

There are many products that you will never see advertised on the television.  The reason is basic; there is no market where saturation is evident.

Here is a short list of a few of such items:
Songlasses by “Ignorance”.
Hearing aids by “Common Trivia“.
Gloves by “Doulas Hands“.
Desire Perfume by “Greede Monger”.
Rubberized dentures by “Jabber Jaw” (a division of gossip international).

If the market is saturated there is no profit to be had.

Meditation on What is Holy

One by one the bricks are laid,

And truth begins to build.

The morning comes when sleep is past.

Forgiveness comes for truth’s deep fast.

Dreams retreat before the Fire of God.

The lips confess, both truth and fault.

And soon the Lord replies.

Piece by piece the scales are rent.

He opens up the eyes.

The ears once deaf,

Hear the Lord’s footstep.

Obedience takes its place.

The man becomes what he was not.

The Glory of God,

Takes His rightful throne!

The man will dance throughout the day,

No longer naked or alone.

By Faith?

You read the first chapter of Genesis and take note that its all the way to the 26th first before God pronounces the reason for creation.  “Let us make man in our image.”

And then you read in 1st Peter chapter 1, an allusion to something similar.  “Even angels long to look into these things.”  And this remark is given after a short discourse on the value of faith.

Everyone of us has wondered why faith is so important.  It is because faith has to do with performing God’s will even though we don’t know the outcome.

Take note as to how all the creatures involved in creating what is creation, did not hear the reason until some distance into the building.  And even while salvation among men is in full swing, the angels still long to look into these things.  Unless the translation is wrong, I noticed that Peter did not use the past tense of the word “long”.

Remaining obedient though  we have no clue, is not only essential now, it is a pattern of behavior for all God’s creatures for eternity.  And this ought to renew our devotion to serve without full understanding.  Frankly folks, that will be our state of affairs forever.

Surely there are moments  of revelation,  or revealing, like when a truly disasterous experience comes to us, only to reveal later, it was the only way to a magnificent blessing.  

But there is a great plenitude of times that we will simply have to serve in pure faith.  I would take this to strongly urge myself to produce a willingness to believe.

We love him.  We trust him.  And our love and trust never disappoint us.  If he asks us to rub two asparagus together for an hour and a half, who are we to question his orders? 

(Frankly, I can’t imagine the slightest possible good that can come from rubbing two asparagus together for an hour in a half.  But it was the most ridiculous exercise in faith that my imagination could conceive. 

. . . If the lord ever asks any of you to do that, please take the time to drop me a line and tell me what the outcome is.)

True Excitement!

Sometimes the prospects of heaven excite me.  To hear the name of Jesus spoken by His Holy Father.     That name only his father knows.

To listen to the stories of ages past long before this world was created.   The exploits of our Lord, and all the noble deeds of great creatures.

To see the great honorable ones of different ages.  And to worship among billions with not a shred of shame or doubt.

By His grace we have such a great hope!

How to Start Your Soul

A few years ago they gave me a tractor to drive that was rather odd.  In order to start it, you had to push two unmarked switches simultaneously while turning the key to start the engine. 

Anyone who was not trained how to start the tractor, could not possibly steal it (unless of course they towed it away).  Fortunately for me, the company wanted me to drive the tractor so they explain the process.

I know a man who is convinced that God has lied.  The man has a certain tendency toward sin.  He has heard what others have said.  They speak about freedom in Christ.  They speak about forgiveness and the power to overcome.  But in his search this man did not find either.  So he assumed that Jesus has lied.

God wants us to live a life of overcoming and freedom.  And he has written a manual as to how we can accomplish that.  But the man I spoke of does not read the manual.  How then can he know?

He refuses to believe the testimony of others.  He refuses to believe there’s something he doesn’t understand.  He cannot start his soul.  So he blames the one who made it.

Now, the way I explained it doesn’t sound reasonable at all.  But it makes perfect sense to this man.  And I will say he is not alone. 

There are millions who have not been able to grasp the freedom of forgiveness and strength to overcome.  Perhaps they are not as bold as this man, in that they do not call God a liar.

But if God has promised the freedom of forgiveness and the strength to overcome, their actions speak louder than their lips.  For they have ceased struggling for what is expected of them.  And they quietly wait their turn to be judged by God.  I really can’t imagine what they’ll tell him.

Let’s sum this article up with what is simple and obvious.  If you want the freedom of forgiveness and the strength to overcome sin, all you have to do is read the Bible and pray.  Yep.  It’s that easy.  (Did I mention you have to believe?  Yes those two unmarked buttons work just like they said they would.)
