Certainty in an uncertain world.

---

 

“I thought I knew it.”

 

Just when I was getting confident in my knowledge of the English language, life is throwing me some curve balls with new words I did not know existed with meanings completely different than I first thought they meant, such as:

 

Gold digger….....Is not an old prospector with his donkey and shovel.

Cougar…………Is not necessarily a feline from the mountains.

Sugar daddy…... Is not an old man with type two diabetes. 

Karen…………..Is not necessarily the name of my cousin.

Rhino or Rino.…Is not only an animal but a Republican in name only.

Sucker……….…Is not necessarily a lollipop but a naïve person.

He she……….…Is a man who thinks he is a woman.

She he……….…Is a woman who thinks she is a man.

A man called wife is one who will never have children from her husband.

A woman called husband is one who will never give her wife a child.

 

I know that English language is difficult, but never imagined that it would be this difficult. I am confused!

 

These things would not bother me that much if it were not for “bad things being called good and good things being called bad.”

 

So, I drew the line and went back to the Eternal Truth of the word of God in the Gospel.

For no other reason, but for the sake of my children, grandchildren and their children I went digging for the “Ancient Boundaries” that as points of reference might guide posterity.

 

To my amazement, that which I thought I knew only too well, is sounding strangely new as the never changing Jesus is coming alive once again by revelation to my mind and to my heart.  How little did I really know about Jesus and his Gospel! 

 

I am finding things in the gospel that were right there in the front of my eyes all of my life but I never knew it being so rich and concealing greater things than when I saw it at first glance.

 

The Gospel is more than good news but a person.

The Gospel is more than a religion is a relationship.

That Prayer is more than talking but truly listening to God.

That insights are the inheritances of the elect believer only.

That instead of brainpower what I need is childlikeness. 

That Faith and surrender to the word and will of God in Jesus is imperative.

That salvation is of the Lord not only as an end result but also as a process whereby God is not only sovereign over my final destiny but every step of the way making my wrongs right all the way to perfection, “until that day” and beyond. 

Above all, I have discovered through “Revelation” and to my entirety satisfaction from scripture that I am created by God, of God and for God. By faith alone I believe to have been “Created by God to be loved.”

 

There are no “buts, ifs or perhaps in this non-negotiable truth but certainty.” Let us Pray the Lord's Prayer. 

Furthermore, “Nothing can separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

Going back to my first love in Jesus has worked for me and I am free at last from confusion and curve balls that by his grace I am ready to bat. The final score of the game is set from eternity. Let's play ball with confidence in the midst of the uncertainty of the world. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Let us Pray the Lord's Prayer. 

 

This is the relief batter on duty.
