LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING

Monday late afternoon as I was driving home from the office there was a large cloud in the western sky’s horizon coming out of some smaller clouds. What struck me was the bright lining on the edges of the clouds, even the largest one which was as if an explosion had occurred among the clouds and a plume of smoke was rising from them. It too had a bright lining around its edges. The sun was hidden and was going down and a slight hint of pinkish rays were seen coming over the clouds.

                I was immediately reminded of our high school graduating song, “Look for the Silver Lining”.  The part I remember most was:

“Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember somewhere, the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is let it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.”

Now it’s Wednesday morning and the USA has indicated yet once again that the majority wants nothing to do with the Righteous One and each is so individually myopic that they cannot even see the obvious. Will the country that was once of one mind and purpose and now evenly divided fall further into the slavery of its own creation until there is no semblance of what it once was?

Has it all been for naught? Is it really over? Has the one with outstretched arms succumbed to the disease that killed other great nations? Does sin win?

I say NO! But who is the leader that God will raise? Who is the one who has forsaken all for an appointment by the King? Who is the one who speaks with the boldness of heaven the words of Life?

That ONE is US. But we must leave traditions and convention. We must repent from the evil of compromise and seek with all that we are, giving up all our possessions whether physical, soulish or spirit and be consumed in the Love Dimension.

The call is for all, and all to be that one man who will in humility and unity with one voice proclaim, declare and decree the law of the Spirit, the law of Eternal Life, Christ in you, the hope of Glory!

The SON is ever shining no matter the clouds!
