Psalm 104:29 NIV We huff and we puff Probably because we know that one day He will take these lives away from us. And, well, we’ve become of the mind that these lives are ours, a lie in an accordance with we’ve lived for so long now that the promise of our leaving this earth seems the promise of only a jerk. Because the simple truth is that we all enjoy these lives. We love the act of living. In our opinion living a life is something we’re all fairly good at, something that we’ve been doing long enough, and with success enough, that we feel as if we’re somehow owed the opportunity to go on living them for however long we may want them. Losing the promise of eternity within our hurry to always keep doing whatever little it is that we’re still willing to try and that alongside our appreciation for the fact that this life we have is an opportunity that we’ve been given. And, well, bad things happen whenever you start to become unappreciative. Especially should it get to the point in which...

Galatians 5:17 NIV heads left for lessons learned And rather harrowingly those learned most often through what is humility doing its intended task of leading us back to seeing where we went wrong in what’s long been a fight that we knew not we were meant to fight nor then how. For the common approach unto a life is to live it seeking within it only matters of comfort, not competition. Granted, we’ve ended up arriving well within the latter as anymore all that seems to matter is whether we look like, sound like, seem like another, comparing ourselves daily unto those who simply aren’t us. But I guess that kind of only adds to the point. It’s that we’ve all so confused life that anymore all of our time is given unto doing all these things that do nothing for us in return. Indeed, it seems as if nearly our every waking moment is spent lost within this mental debasement in which we seek incessantly our placement in what we then apparently consider a race of sorts, and sadly one in which we...

Romans 7:5 NIV takes a right through wrongs On the surface it seems a considerable counter productivity to have had the law given which would thereby outline all the ways in which we’ve all fallen out of line in what’s long been a life in which we’re all falling behind in terms of following He who is the Life. I mean, doesn’t it seem the least bit strange that God would bestow this thing upon His children that would cause said children to realize they’d grown into what’s really nothing short of heathenistic, hedonistic criminals who, having broken literally every law we’d be given, would then so too opt for a life spent hiding from Him? Truly, why would He do such a grievous thing unto we who were created in His image and therein meant to be His loving children? Well, because the simple reality is that we’ve all long since forgotten that we were made in His image having obviously opted instead to brazenly fulfill that part in Scripture where it’s said that in the last times there would...

Psalm 119:71 NIV What is learning? Is it a line leant unto little lessons which bring with them minor improvements? Is it a lane led into lessons lived seeking proven progress paved in progressive progressions? Is it a life lived straying from what we know toward always what we don’t? Is it a matter made solely of what we know already? Is it looking for the more we can knowing that the only way there is to be taken by people we aren’t yet? Is it appreciating who we are for the lessons we’ve already learned, many learned the hard way? Is it an opportunity to be hardened unto the battle still to come? Is it merely a person trying to prove they aren’t so dumb as their past tries to prove? Is it an opportunity meant to be taken so lightly as we do? Is it an affliction meant to be taken more gratefully than we have? Is it always good? Is it never bad? Well, I guess that depends on what it is that we learn and the process through which we do. But it seems that for a long time we’ve been of t...
