Persons really need to stay out of other person’s bedrooms.
Adversity insidiously strikes while the iron is hot.
Most often when we are calm, cool and collected.
Adversity practices its many forms, shapes and sizes in the corners of our minds.
Etched there for reference and recompense. No one is ever owed anything good or bad.
It does beg a question, though….
What is the meaning?
The meaning of the signs.
The signs that our Lord is near.
When the scorpion shows up?
When the bull gets restless?
When the serpent works to tip the boat?
Depends on what you believe, I suppose.
Me.
I prefer to share with you the evils of not getting sucked into the evils of the devil and company. Let’s call the devil’s insidious operations “Dev & Co.” For purposes only of a life well lived following in His footsteps.
Adversarial waves and winds keep you hopping and the devil hoping.
To replace you with another.Any which way and loose.
Reminder: Loose lips sink ships.
What do I do?
Well.
Usually after a momentary “hissy fit”. I am good.
In no way, shape or form am I attempting to convince anyone of anything.
What would be the worth of that? This?
Nuttin.
Prescription: Regulate to disambiguate.
Works for me.
I hope it may work for you.
How will you know? The when.The where. The who. The where. the how……….
You will know.
Usually.
It is right smack dab in your face.
With a “gift”.
You do your work.
I will do mine.
When the boat of your life is rocking side to side scarily.
I immediately phone a friend.
My bestie.
He reminds me that I am invited and welcome to face the difficulties with Him..
When I forget this during my “hissy fit”, he waits for me just outside the door.
After all, the opportunities are endless to be called upon to help another build their strength of resolve.
Hand the helm to Jesus.
He planned this all along. ☺️
He knew you well, very well before you had the tiniest of a clue. 🕵️♀️
He knew the adversarial waves and winds would attempt to knock you off your “game”.
He whispers the certainty that the Lord always conquers our evil. He knows well the powers of evil. He knows full well in who or whom, when and where, if and when they live on in the innards of humans.
He says, “Put your enemies under my feet.” (pf). Do not be afraid.
Be not afraid.
The enemies?
How do they present?
The enemies: Death. Sin. Devil.
They live on inhumanely in humans.
He tramples the enemies for us.
”Take heart. I am here.” (pf)
You probably will not find the best of His lessons roaming the aisles of the bibliotheque. Or easily discover the meanings of the signs there either. The counter helpful librarian with the “smart specs” only checks you out. She does not carry you in the long run.
Run. Run. Run.
Ambiguity impairs clarity.
In natural language, that is.
Natural language is ordinary. It is language that has emerged in a community by the process of use, repetition, and change with out conscious planning or premeditation. Spoken language or sign language.(wk)
Enter.
The library.
And its endless aisles of books to teach you.
Controlled natural languages are subsets. The grammars and dictionaries have been restricted in order to reduce ambiguity.(wk)
Perhaps it is actually the librarian who is searching for the clue.
About you.
What you like.
How you like it.
Etcetera. Etcetera.
It is a good thing most people are not morons.
Save for the select few who believe they can buck or work the system to and for their advantage.
Hear the beautiful trample, trample of His feet on their necks.🙏🏻
Say no, no more to the baby steps.
Say yes, to the beautiful sound of trample steps.
There is no escape on land or sea for you…..
He walks on water too🙂.
No ambiguity with this GUY.
He just gets down to work.
Plowing through your enemies for you.
Riding the waves as the awesome surfer dude that He is.
For you.
Synoptical vision. Synoptical visions. With you on the sometimes rocky boat of your life.
See together with you with a common view.
He calms the storms.🫵🏻
When you think the coast is clear and head for home. Say a prayer of strength for the stamina to do so with Him by you side. He rebukes the winds and waves for you. All He simply asks of you is to do your part.
Your assignment. Your part of the deal with Him. To follow in his ways.
One must have and develop the reading, the reading of the enemies, to precision. In order to read the signs correctly. And there will be setbacks.
There are no real, no bonafide coincidences.
Except with Him.
He is, after all, supernatural.
Run.
Put.
Set.
May I kindly introduce you to the trio of polysemes.
Run.
Put.
Set.
They are the three most polysemous words.
Multiple meanings can confuse.
Add in a dash of a loud face.(scj)
We have quite a conundrum.
A foot is a foot is a foot.
And Jesus can do all things with His feet. For you.
”Take heart. I am here.”
Call on Him.
Welcome Him.
In the darkest hour.
He can see in the dark too.
The scorpions.
The bull.
The serpents.
He sees them all.
He tramples them all.
He takes no prisoners. Doesn’t have to. God’s will versus human desires. Some agree, “when you look good, you feel good” He actually advocates for you in the opposite.
When you feel good, a radiation of warmth and aplomb is shone out like a ray. The end of all things is near. He invites us to be self-controlled and alert, to be able to pray. (peter1:4). Above everything, love earnestly, because love covers over many sins.
“Be glad you are sharing Christ’s sufferings so that you may be full of joy when his glory is revealed.”
”None of you should suffer because he is a murderer, a thief, or a criminal, or tries to manage other people’s business. But. If you suffer because you are a Christian, don’t be ashamed of it, it thank God that you bear Christ’s name.
(Hint: bear is another one of those polysemes🫨)
What’s the point?
You will never walk alone if you follow the man who tramples the evils with a wink, nod, and prayer on the beautiful waves and winds of life.(pf)
