Resurrect Your Work in the Midst of the Years

When God has declared peacetime, and we are stagnant in our walk with our righteousness and holiness because of the glory peacetime provides, what do we do to keep ourselves warm and comforted or alive from overmuch glory? What if everyone around us is really into having a fun time and even wickedness, and we are wondering how we will receive comfort or peace in the peacetime itself?

Does God have no mind to allow such things to happen? Has He not made it clear at such times that He is unconcerned for anyone but Himself when a young child is ripped apart in his bedroom and sad and scared, and no one rescues? While God is declaring a time of pleasure for the Kingdom, shall young children die alone in bed?

This sort of thing is something that has to be a call to turn inward and do a work of our own. We can learn from the Jewish people that sometimes God forsakes us and dislikes us, but that we can wait on help from a helping hand such as on Wings of Eagles, and simply choose to be as happy as we can in our suffering. Possibly, shut some of the old acquaintances out of our lives by not being so needy and annoying to everyone, and responsibly going about our daily work. If we’ll climb out of bed everyday and do our basic chores, and do charity work to help those around us feel better, comfort the weak, uphold those who are scared also by the same situation, hold back the night, and touch the needs of others, while maintaining our own beauty and posture, then maybe the reward can be quietness and assurance forever.

The challenge of Islam and Judaism and the Christians caught in the crossfire has always been a problem for people. Throughout history, the silly ancient hatred between the two sides seems to become very confusing for a true Christian at some point or another. We all behave how only we know how to behave, and sometimes getting people to see our vision is difficult. We work hard to maintain what we like to be, and sometimes jealousy or anger that we are not like one or the other enough makes them not want to help us. This is very depressing and a cause for great loneliness and sometimes intense pain. Sometimes there is a great forsaking in the land and we feel as though God has brought to pass His strange and unusual act already, and then we realize that it is over in some kind of way, while someone else is lying and claiming that everything will be alright based on a future generation, while older folks he once called favorite are thrown aside in great worry and confusion at what is going on.

Although we may think that resurrecting our own work in the midst of such years may be important, and it could be, if there are impossible obstacles in our way, then we may not. We’ll just have to accept the current situation and maybe face finding a new place of worship and hang out head in the streets and mournfully take in hand the cards the Father has dealt us. If God’s will is more important to Him than our personal happiness, it’s time to let God be God.

If we are feeling lonely as ourselves, and no one is like us, that is OK, but Islam has always been friendly until it comes time not to be fitting in. If Israel does not love us, that is because she is maybe into pleasure provided by whoever and does not want to feel embarrassed or something. Maybe it isn’t our job to care what everyone else does and just keep our mouths shut.

When War Dies

When war dies, then dies with it our hope of glory. When glory comes, then comes the lack of glory’s luster. And when we lose our beauty and covering from Yahweh, we usually end up scared and alone. No one obviously loves us or is willing to affirm their love to us, so we should just go off alone and have a private war of our own. Accepting a lower seat of not caring for others and caring more for ourselves is usually something we feel very selfish for and irresponsible, but they did not love us then, did they? They did not need us. It’s a sad feeling it leaves. Maybe there are other factors.
