I don't think that God hears the loudest voice. I think He hears the sincere voice. More people need to know that. After all, it was the still small voice that was heard after the noise was gone.
The whole point of writing is to fill in the gaps between two seemingly unconnected thoughts in a way which makes one's leaps of intuition plausible and comprehensible to any who would read one's words. That and the fact that writing slows us down enough to achieve clarity.
Marxists condem the Constitution because some of the writers owned slaves, yet the boldly proclaim Marxism despite the millions murdered by Lenin, Stalin and etc. Somehow I don't think the sins of the authors of the Constitution are the reason they oppose it.
You wanna change the world? Well, you can't, so just stop. The only thing you can do is let Him change your world, and then walk with Him. It's not any more complicated than that. Reach out, get up and go.
How many times, by choices willingly and knowingly made, have I extended this wilderness? How many times? At this point I just need to get back up and keep going. The only way out is through.
@mjvortex85@divan_heroes I stopped buying after legacy issue 972 because I got tired of reading Amazing and feeling meh about it. And that was after about a year of debating the decision. After a while one gets tired of spending money on something that's just ok.
The point of the wilderness is to separate you from the noise of civilization. The best course of action then is to sit and listen so that you may hear. He will lead you out when it is time.
It seems that I am done arguing and trying to convince. I think I am learning to speak to inform or even enlighten, not to persuade or convince. After all, I am not always right. And if I am right, then there is One who walks along side Who is responsible for the result.
It's arrogance on our part, if the truth were to be known. We rail against God for all the wrong done to us, but yet we don't allow that wrong to move us from wronging others. We give the devil too much credit. He just asked a question. We've been giving our answer ever since.
Sometimes the testimony that one has is that they have lived through a metaphorical hell and they still serve God. In other words, God allowed the human will to run its course. A miracle was not performed and still you stand with God and by His strength. Keep going.
