July 19, 2007

Good morning, and a sticky one it is too. In more humid areas of the country things get wet from the humidity in the morning, here we get sticky. Have you ever noticed some phrase creeping into your conversation? Mine as of late has been "and that's a fact" appended to things that most certainly are not. "That's a beautiful house, and that's a fact!" Actually that's my opinion, not a fact, and the phrase must go. If I review the books that I have read recently, the answer will probably be found there.

What else do you see going on in the world today? If you point out the events you see moving in the world of politics, business, and government, the world would probably brand you a "conspiracy theorist" or just "quack". Yet, if someone has a plot working and someone else points it out to them, what is the first line of defense? "Oh, pooh! You're imagining things." Yes, they brush it off and try to deflect the investigation. Looking at the media in general, what if there is a power behind the moves we see? Purchases of certain companies, policies of government, who gets elected in politics or who takes over power, can all add up to a great plan of someones. It may appear so disconnected that most would fail to see the plan behind the news events. Pastor Rogers liked to say that, "it is getting gloriously dark!" Never before in history has the ability to speak to the entire world existed, and never before has the world been so open to purchase. When the communist giants held power, there was (in theory) nothing to buy in their countries. Now we see them taking to capitalism with a vengeance. The Internet is reaching to even remote villages and farms through wireless, cellular, and satellite technologies. Solar powered computers are going to be made available to children throughout the world. Gloriously dark indeed.

There is no reason to fear. No matter what plots or events unfold in the world, God is sovereign. Only one plan will come to be in the end, and that is God's plan. Let the glory of the Lord shine upon us this day!
