Forged By Faith

Proverbs 26:12 NIV For ‘twas never our eyes which were to be tasked with the discovering of where wisdom lay. Nay, rather wisdom is beheld in only the eye of the Beginner, the Author, the purely divine Definer of what wisdom must be as it cannot be something so ordinary as to exist within the consist of a culture so often calamitous that we cannot any of us define neither one day from the prior nor the hope that the coming is to be then proven better. For as we’ve talked at length of late, fact is that we’ve all long since forsaken the ferocity needed to reach the better for which we’re better at finding excuses to debate. Indeed, betterment is anymore a subject so subjective that it’s fallen upon each of us to determine for ourselves just how far we’re willing to go as determined by what all we’re willing to endure in the ways of pains as proven of all growth. No, seems that to grow is anymore a show we’re unwilling to see simply for the sake of the fees and parking. Rather we’re more

Psalm 90:12 NIV That we may gain. There’s so much made of gain within this world, something anymore such a priority in fact that it’s arguably our most shared pursuit. And yet seeking gain without direction or in anyway devoid devotion is only going to allow one led astray as there’s to come upon us all each and every day a newfound intrigue within which we find ourselves perhaps more curious as to the new unseen as opposed to the same old we’ve been living for. And this ever-present acceptance of any and all suggestion has allowed us to otherwise blind our eyes to seeking what may have always mattered more than most. For, at least personally, I’ve discovered that when much is allowed to matter then nothing much matters at all. Because we’ve only so much time and attention with which to spread ourselves amongst a certain degree of distance as divided by all these things that we here have come to all but live by. Indeed, we’ve only so thin to go before we just start to tear. And yet it

Isaiah 33:6 NIV Among our many treasured advancements as always held high for all the world to see and assume as awe-worthy as we always have, perhaps the greatest is our ability to utterly devalue the valuable whilst prizing the pitiable. And I say this because having read through the Word of God a time or two, or twenty or so at this point as I have no actual measure as I’ve lost count, but having made the study of Scripture a daily priority, I’ve found that there’s this value to the things that we’ve all but come to ignore that has left us living lives that are in fact as we so often feel. Yes, we’re living lives that are basically worth nothing as achieved by all these devotions to what’s not but commotion as considered vital to a culture so cancerous that all of us have caught the intrigue. Indeed, all of us have at one time or another had the opportunity to pick the path of widest worth only to have opted for that of the biggest berth. And it’s here now within this gluttonous gir

Proverbs 9:10 NIV Perhaps wisdom has always been just as close as our stepping to the edge of wonder and there embracing the amazing power of both potential and pain as held in the hands of He who’s wisdom defined. Indeed, I’ve found that there’s a fairly interesting dynamic to basically all of life as lived finally in faith that exists inside a radically simple understanding which says that you cannot grow in who you will not go to. Now, we’ve likely never seen it that way as around here we seem to assume that growth as considered within such things as wisdom or its close-enough cousin learning are undertaken within a willingness to study facts or memorize possible test answers as if all we are is but a score, a rank ranking of revelry and rebellion. But what if I told you that there ought to be a far deeper depth to all of us, all of this, all of Him than all of that? I mean, can wisdom truly be something so simple as just memorization of widely agreed upon facts as figured by masses

James 1:5 NIV To be given generously what is eternally necessary is indeed a gift of immeasurable proportions. Especially when measured against the ongoing continuation of what is a historically longstanding rejection of just such a vastly undeserved kindness. Which is indeed what life here has so sadly become. It’s but a blanket rejection of any hint of what might prove a person’s betterment. We’ve been on that idea for days, this issue of our having dissolved into this doubt so deep that all we seem to agree to see is but a confusion as to the continuity which exists between life and faith. In fact, we’re so divided away from such a reality anymore that most days find us as if affixed firmly to a floor of folly, following only our fellowship of fools toward what’s but more of yesterday’s insufficiency. And yet we cheer each other on and too onward as we all fall in line behind those fallen away from the audacity to admit that we’re all among the many who in fact lack wisdom. For as i
