"Fattening the calf"
As I type this an ad for Christian mingle is on. I tried to take
a day off and stopped into work to rake care of something and
was there two and a half hours. Because I was there a met a
quarterly goal and yearly goal where my company may get some
extra income. My family is rushing to activities I am supposed
to go and because I well am dad.
Meeting these immposible goals was entirely Gods doing. It has
created an impossibly demanding amount of work for me to do in
the next month or so I am at the whim of the world. Except you
and I know the rapture may be occuring by the end of the month
the economy is about to collapse even though the stock market is
its highest.
I asked what is going on the thought God is fattening the calf
everyone is running to and fro not a clue that Gods wrath is
about to be poured out I tell them and they say you have been
saying that for years.
The fast and the proud are running forward in life wondering why
I am trying to run the other way. The fact is they don't get
what I do God is fattening up
The calf letting everyone believe its getting better the thing
is there is always another quarter to meet always another goal.
God met this one I wanted to do my job to overcome to provide
until He came be dependant on no one except His provision.
The thing is what I crave most the time to come out of the world
to seperate from its mindless dash like rats forward to a cliff
gets harder to come by the closer we get. The important things
time with Gods word, time to watch pray witness even be with
family in quiet times is being beaten out of us to keep us
running. The thing is they think they are somehow going to see
the profit of their labor. I see no illusions of this. My dads
inheritance a few dollars not much will be coming in a few weeks
to what good? It will be thrown in the streets soon if I see
right.
I have to to my job till He comes I have to care for my family
but most importantly I need to focus on the fact that the flesh
profits nothing it is the spirit that is life. Everyone by goals
and deadlines and activities and entertainment is made to focus
on this life this existance not realizing that God is making the
wise vain because all this striving will be nothing.
I wish to be nothing so I can live though Jesus for the real
life. I could not even take one day to be with my son without
God having to interject me back to work to meet the immposible
goal I through Him met. But the reward will just be more running
more goals.
It's all to keep our minds off the fact we are running to death.
Our things will not come with us. Work to eat and peace with
family have been replaced by perpetual rat race.
But look what's coming:
13 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice
unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of
the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my
mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my
highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great
people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered
together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the
Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole
land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as
a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart
shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of
them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they
shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and
fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the
sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked
for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud
to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man
than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall
remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and
in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man
taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee
every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every
one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their
eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall
not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in
it.
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they
shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall
not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the
Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in
from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch
tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their
houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell
there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their
desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her
time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
The darkness at the Day of The Lord the rapture like a thief.
Everyone is being lulled asleep on a treadmill and I am crazy
that I am not happy with all this work maybe more income my dads
inheritance to pay off a few bills. There will be more bills and
the fact is God is just letting the world spin until He pulls
the rug out. I see the rug being grabbed and my most urgent
desire is to be lifted off it as I am rushed forward to the next
goal or activity.
I just want to eat till He comes. My only dream is to be with
Jesus in the air. I am not drinking the kool aid.
