Wings of Despair
Wings of Despair
“Honesty exalteth a country: in any case, sin is a rebuke to any individuals.” Prov.14:34
“Yet, insidious men and tempters will wax more awful and more terrible, deluding, and being tricked.” 2 Timothy 3:13
About a mile or so in the distance from my house is a poultry ranch. Frequently, during the evening, I hear the thunder of the huge trucks en route to the market. The travelers probably detected that life, as they once knew it, had taken a sensational new turn.
The occupants that grew up there, had somebody, apparently, who really focused on them and supported them to wellbeing, thriving, and development. Every one of their requirements were met – – with the ultimate objective of seeing them become sound and prosperous. As they shared uninhibitedly every day of all their overseer’s arrangements, never in their most extravagant fantasies would they have thought that their general benefits were not in that frame of mind of the ranch supervisor’s psyche. They paid pretty much nothing, if any, regard for the thundering hints of the flatbeds, or the shaking of the enclosures as they showed up on display – – maybe to whisk them away to a superior world.
As their overseers set them up for the ride, they were visually impaired and negligent of the result of the outing they were going to leave on. An excursion which would end up being doomed all along. down a path of hopelessness; which would before long cross the area line of no return. It would progress forward with a crash course with a finish of which they were oblivious and had no view of. They had no idea what was waiting for them at the other end as they loaded up for the final ride of their lives. The leftovers of their process should have been visible close by the street, as the tempestuous ride dissipated their plumes to the breezes of history.
The previous situation could have suggestions and applications to the destiny that anticipates many hoodwinked and tricked Americans. Tragically, dissimilar to the unfortunate fowl whose destinies are inescapable, people can’t utilize the secret weapon of obliviousness. Have we, as residents, been stacked on a vehicle that is set out toward an unexpected objective in comparison to what our chiefs could have us accept? Has the driver forgotten about, flagging our takeoff on a disastrous last ride?
Are America’s deepest desires dissipated at the edge of the streets like so many poultry feathers? Addressing all of our great intentions…but terrible decisions. Deciding to follow our tricky hearts and human thinking, instead of the insights who can be trusted.
Have we, similar to old Rome, moved on board the flatbed and into the holding up enclosures independently, enroute to a critical destiny that we are not even mindful of? Fortunately – – in contrast to the fowl and Rome of old – – we don’t need to move on board. Likewise, on the off chance that we have been tricked and loaded up, there’s actually time to land. We can look for the responses and gather light from similar source the originators behind our country utilized.
The expressions of rebuke that George Santayana is credited with as yet sound valid today. Will we accept notice to that counsel, or continue in the strides of each and every progress and country that failed to remember God and presently lie on the debris load of obliteration?
The Book of scriptures tells us of the decisions that have followed every one of the countries in history that have dismissed God and his statement. It additionally recounts the gifts and favorable luck of all who have confided in the valid and living Lord of creation all through earth’s presence.
How about we cast off the wings of hopelessness and return to the dependably truthful illumination.
