The "beat" twangs and strikes a painful chord. The music isn't lively, pretty, sultry, rockin', or solemnly beautiful. It's off key. Sounds wretched.

The sun shines, the rain falls, whispers of snowfall dot landscapes, and wind blusters here and there. Routine follows people, silence tracks many.

Troubling times lurk, get ignored, glossed over, disregarded. Celebrated cheering accompanies vain attempts at resurrecting something from nothing.

Evil sits quiet in the shadows, howling laughter unheard by the masses. Triumph! it gloats.

Holiness lies pushed to the ground, spit upon, kicked and trampled.

But high above, the watchfulness monitors the wickedness, waits for eyes to search for truth and freedom but finds souls relishing their successful immersion into the vile vomit of the death of virtue.

One day the beat will go on again. Perfectly. In tune. Lovely in melody, powerful in chords of joy. One day there will be songs of life.

 

God, you reign. Over all. Overall. You reign. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

    We cry out, “Lord, how much garbage do I have to accept in the name of “freedom” and “no religious spirit”. When did holiness ever mean a lack of freedom or a man made way to get God’s loving attention. Our thinking is skewed. God came and bought for us the freedom to be holy and empowers us by His Holy Spirit to do holy. The Lord desires a bride that is pure and holy. How do we get there? We receive it by accepting Jesus’ death on the cross as payment for our sins and live it out empowered by the Holy Spirit. God does n
    ot ask anything of us other than to believe and obey. We seem to think that we can believe and that we do not have to show anything for it. Lord, have mercy on us!

    Thanks for commenting, Cindy. Good to “hear” your voice. I’m weary of hearing “Don’t judge” when we are called to judge sin. And the knowing of His people by their fruit. There are so many pseudo believers, imposters. But we will serve our Lord to the best of our ability with loving Him and obedience in the forefront of our paths. And carry on. He will see to the justice of it all. Thank God.
