Just Wondering …

I wonder when contributing to all discussions that are floating around you became a mark of your perspicacious nature.
I wonder when crying at people’s word, beating yourself to comatose when it’s like your hope is no more feasible, putting a rope round your neck any these worthless paroxysm of emotions became a sign that you are tender hearted.
I wonder when talking to people harshly, denying them every single thing they politely requested of you, being too spineless became your ID for your formality and strong personality.
I still wonder why someone would believe that excess cholesterol would kill them, that a bullet could put a hole on their chest, that a ruler would help them create a perfect straight line but struggle with the truth that sin kills, that God has need of them and that hell is a big reality.
I wonder how comfortable we can be reading and arguing about politics yet give little attention to studying the bible or even praying for the nation’s survival.
I still wonder how I willingly cause God pain yet he’d still patiently wait for me to return to him, to heal and clean me up.
I was…

…Just wondering.

There is a race
That is run across the face
Of the earth, everyday.
Racers line from a starting place called ‘Birthday’
They all have enough fuel for the first leg.
Their mission is to get a second full filling of fuel before the first leg is over.

…from the Heavenly Race.

There is no gunshot to signify the start of the race. And their volumes of fuel differ…some have enough fuel for 70years…some for 100, etc
The racers start out screeching and screaming at the sound from her face, some of you know her as Mommy, Mumsi, etc.
They all have forgotten their destination, so they shoot of in different directions, families, talents, dreams, etc.

…from the Heavenly race.

The tracks appear dangerous, there are traps and tricks, bites and licks, designed to distract racers from getting answers. Answers to the question of ‘How does a racer get their second full filling of fuel?’

…from the Heavenly race.

To get these answers, let’s turn from the racers… To God, The Lord, who so loved the world.
He knew the racers before desires and kindergarten, before exams and birthdays. He left them words, a map, so they could locate their second full filling of fuel.

…from the Heavenly Race.

There are books, books and more books written every other year telling racers how to be successful and updated winners of the first leg. And as more and more of these books are read, less and less racers even remember that they need a second full filling of fuel.

…from the Heavenly race.

Even worse are those
Whose prides rose
Because they found the map
They went and took a nap
They let other racers be their trap
Thinking, ‘Let them read me the map,
I like my things sharp sharp!’

…from the Heavenly race.

You are all racers, yes!
Temporary participants of the human race.
The bible is the map.
It comes in different designs, languages and translations…
All saying the same thing- Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, not yours. That’s how you get the second full filling of fuel.

…from the Heavenly race.

The Spirit of God is the second full filling of fuel every racer needs…not money or marriage.
In the second leg, with the Spirit, we do not run, we are seated in Christ, we have entered God’s rest. We have ceased from our struggle.

…from the Heavenly race.

There is a race
That is run across the face of the earth…
Racers sit in a starting place called ‘Christ’
They all have, we all have, unconditionally, just enough fuel for eternity.
Join us, God loves you too.
