The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.  Psalm 23

Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Everything that has breath shall praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! ~Psalm 150

When I was a teenager I recall many Christians searching for hidden satanic messages in song lyrics. The Christian band Petra, actually punked these people out by recording a backwards lyric that said “Why are you looking for the devil when you ought to be looking for the Lord?” 

Perhaps, instead of looking for Satan in song lyrics, we should be looking for inspiration from the Holy Spirit?  

Chosen fate, I have become, Broken slave and overrun

In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

Servant to one's suffering, The poisoned crown, a fallen king

In my dying time You're all that is real  In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

In my dying time You're all that is real  In my dying time My wounds shall all be healed

“For your gods are as many as your cities, O Judah; and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.” Jeremiah 11:13

That world to the internet and AI is a world created by man and now worshiped by man. Just as Baal and other pagan gods were the creation of men’s hands.

By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19 

We view that as a punishment, but it is also a blessing. Few things provide the genuine satisfaction of a job well done. Working the land, working with animals, using your hands to provide food and security for your family offers a true, real sense of satisfaction. The closer you are to God’s creations, the closer you are to God.

“He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. ~John 5:35

Christ was speaking of John the Baptist in this verse. However, it made me think about us and our temporary journey here on this earth. Will it be said of us when we depart that others were able to “rejoice for a while” in the light we provided? 

Are we acting as a light to our family and our friends? Or do we bring darkness into the lives of others?  We have a choice to make everyday. Have you ever had a friend who never has anything good to say or to report?  

We all go through ups and downs. Christ himself felt sadness and disappointment. Jesus wept at the news of his friend Lazarus’s death. Christ was disappointed that his disciples could not even stay awake to watch with him on the night of his betrayal. He was betrayed by a friend, Judas. Despite this, Christ provided us with encouragement and hope. Jesus had compassion and showed love. He was the light of the world.

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”  John 8:12

Christ was our perfect example. Will we follow that example and be a light to those around us?

The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and putting Jesus to the test, they asked Him to show them a [a]sign from heaven. 2But He replied to them, “[b]When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the [c]appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times? 4An evil and adulterous generation wants a [d]sign; and so a [e]sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.  Matt: 16: 1-4

Wait for the LORD; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you still jeer at all you hear, yes I think it's too late

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor; 10 for if [b]either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not [c]another to lift him up! 11Furthermore, if two lie down together they [d]keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if [e]one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him.

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the groom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take extra oil with them; But the prudent ones took oil in flasks with their lamps. ~Matt: 25:1-4

Now while the groom was delaying, they all became drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there finally was a shout: ‘Behold, the groom! Come out to meet him.’Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. But the foolish virgins said to the prudent ones, ‘Give us some of your oil, because our lamps are going out.’ However, the prudent ones answered, ‘No, there most certainly would not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the groom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Yet later, the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ Be on the alert then, because you do not know the day nor the hour. ~Matt. 25:5-13

Choosing not to decide is still a choice. God our Father loved us so much that he gave us free will. We have the free will to do what is right and good, but also to do what is evil or simply to ignore the righteous and good and do nothing.

Recently I was talking with an acquaintance regarding new team members or more specifically, how to determine if potential new team members were serious.  How do we know that the enthusiastic new member is genuinely interested in becoming a part of the team, not just a member of the “cool kids” club?

Do they desire to serve others or are they concerned with themselves and their own ego first? Traumatic medical training forces the participant to consider or prepare to serve others. While tactical or shooting endeavors lend themselves toward ego gratification.
