Alarm
Into start-to-finish, two posts (here and Plant a Seed), by early-ish morn. Coz of – cop-out – using comments. Two from yesterday.
To add: I don't believe the universe and our place in-it is constructed as a divine test. That God set all this up, only to 'see how we'd fare' – to run a competition. No... we can see it this way if helps and with some justification, provides reasons to live-up/spurs us on. But there's deeper elements in the mix-why. It's true, but – only so, far. And emphasising 'rewards tomorrow', again, if that's what does y'good? I don't think that way, there may be times and contexts might. And God willing have need, and so therefore – depends.
What's no-debate: There's a war on and this, never-no-way some planned and approved of – by God. It's abhorrent (to God). When for instance bombs go off, killing etc. God is suffering 'with' those… and God for resisting and for catching/stopping perpetrators. Calling all who listen, including those who name him not, how to bring about his intended – ('his' doesn't mean 'male' by the way) – on this earth. And yes, there's a relationship through a change and acceptance available, that's for now, let alone life-after.
Whatever went on in Belgium is about testing us. This not of God but a test, we face. Increasingly, the enemy is aiming to completely frazzle and throw what's presumed rational discourse. To 'screw our heads up' is one way to say. To scramble our thinking and overwhelm, such that we hide our gaze and cower away.
Details matter. Exposing darkness... Overturning to light... And this investigation by James, God's work towards. Mine and the like – (any likes out there?) – to pray and prophecy into. I admit I've been in a lapse on this. But God…
