During these uncertain and difficult days, we must take care to realize that while many of the things we enjoy doing are curtailed for a time, but not every single thing in life is quarantined, cancelled, stopped, or furloughed. If we are to experience a Divine awakening, reset, change of pace, or enlightenment it simply cannot be done while living in the same old mindsets.
The world says you must stay home and /or cover up for protection. Our human nature says whatever I want to do is my right, and I want to see family, friends, go out to eat, tailgate at games, worship at a church, and go about business as usual.
Our Divine nature says, hold on, you’re focused on the wrong things. What you cannot do is the secondary issue. This earthly world has always dished out hate, unfairness, trials, and oppression. It’s when it hits close to home that humans only seem to care. For those in the USA as long as it was going on in some other country, some other family, some other town we turned a blind eye and traveled on to the mall, ski trips, weddings, Vegas, and football games. This selfish behavior of impulse buying, filling our lives with activities. possessions of grandeur, getting the newest phone, car, or biggest house has led us to where we are today. We feel important, entitled, better than, and stamp our feet like a toddler in defiance. All because this whole world situation has rocked our own little world that’s made up of too many things, expectations, wants, and stuff. Divine has a simpler plan, but we must take the focus off of what was, unplug from the headphones, put down the phone, turn off the TV, and, in simple silence, listen for Divine’s path forward.
If there is any hope of rectifying this worldly situation and allowing Divine to prevail we must stop spinning around in fear with worry and focus on the life that doesn’t encompass all the activities we are so accustomed to in our lavish part of the world.
Think of ways and things that don’t require money yet lead to richness in health, awareness, introspection, and silence to hear Divine. Hope is not cancelled. Life is not cancelled. Old patterns, thinking, and ways of living, however, are and must be in order for a Divine reset.
Enjoy the sunshine, read a new book, plant an herb garden, take a walk in the trees, and reset your life so Hope has a chance to swell up your heart pushing out fear and selfish defiance.
“Those who have ears let them hear….this calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints.” Revelation 13:9, 10
