A Word from Papa “J”
What ever happened to “Hot Apple Pie and a Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream?” Many of us would say nothing at all! It is not really the pie or the ice cream is it? It is the THANKSGIVING given to our Creator and God that should come first; this is the missing component!
Good Morning
Just the other day I saw a commercial on the television where a duck was handing out money to some guy in a boat, then the boat developed holes and the duck used all of its extremities to stop the leaks, finally the motor on the boat, if it had one conked out and the duck stuck its head into the last remaining hole and use its beak and lungs to propel the boat to shore. AMAZING!
We live in a world of fantasy and deception. We applaud the impossible and ignore the practical. Instead of being satisfied in life, we have become like a well-known rich man who once was asked. “How much more money do you need to feel satisfied that you have enough?” His answer: “Just a little more!” We upsize everything and then complain when the waist-line expands, or is that “the waste-line”? That is most of the things we stand in line for, is a waste!
I am not a prophet, or the son of a prophet. I am simply reading in Isaiah 6:1-13, and I will break in at verse 9.
And He said, “Go, and tell this people: Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive. Make the heart of this people dull, and the ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest the see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return and be healed.”
Then I said, “”LORD, how long? And He answered: “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, the houses are without a man, the land is utterly desolate, The LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. But yet a tenth will be in it, and will return and be for consuming, as a terebinth tree or as an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down, so the holy seed shall be its stump.”
If there is to be a future for the United States of America, it will not be like the one of our past. We are changing, but there will be a remnant… so the holy seed is the remaining stump. Are you found in the stump, or will you be like the chaff which the wind will drive away?
Isaiah 6:13 – The LORD says that the remnant will be for consuming and you say will then maybe I do not want to be a remnant and be consumed. All of our forefathers who stood up to the British and fought to gain our independence were persecuted and consumed for the freedoms that we have so corpulently abused. THE STUMP, if you chose to be a part of; will in a like manner be consumed. Yet, I cannot think of a better diet for our future.
