As I try to share my limited views, as related to my belief that God has given me a chance to make peace with all those I've wronged and offended, it becomes more evident that without a faith, strong and undeterred by gainsaying, nothing will pass.
Jesus is the path to that chance. His blood, outside the gate, joined Him to us. His blood, on the Tree, joined him to the Heavens, sanctified us and paved a road for us to see God's face in His Heaven with Jesus' perfect White Light.
The events taking place in our country and around the world are disturbing but not new. The newness of it is in the setting not in the action. Never before has this type of unsettling financial and social turmoil been played out instantaneously for everyone to see and hear. In addition, the sheer magnitude of our numbers is greater than anyone, except the dedicated demographers, is capable of fathoming.
So with constant and immediate media attention and huge masses of humanity at the whim of said media any chances for negotiation and introspective dialog to happen, decrease in mere moments. Then, whenever a meaningful announcement is available, it, once again becomes rapid-fire fodder for the news media, in all of its quick, beat Reuters to the keyboard efficiency.
The last time this happened was in the 80's. Failed banks, foreclosures, high gas prices, higher interest rates, credit tightening, hand wringing, failed war policies, anxious politicians, hung out to dry populace, proliferation of bars.
Then people became inventive and used talent and reason, some God gifts, to solve problems.
I'll leave these verses with you to read, I like them for today:
Leviticus 19:8-19
