The Question...

There is a question that comes up, when situations in your surroundings begin to present an increased reality of challenges... just by reading or watching the news, it very much appears that there are some changes taking place... I'm not referring specifically to political campaign promises, although they do have an influence in how we are affected when carried out. Let's take a look at some of the issues, globally... financial markets are distressed, political alliances have emerged (Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China) which affect national and international security issues, Lybia will shortly be taking on a major position of influence within the United Nations, Nuclear technology is in the possesion of countries with agendas that promote expansion of ideals far from the principals of True Peace (Iran, Syria, N. Korea, Pakistan & India are not only opposed to each other, but are struggling with Islamic factions seeking to take control of each country), concerns of food shortages are being expressed by organizations and scientific experts... and the evidence is being seen thru-out numerous countries in the African continent, climatic changes continue to be observed... polar caps having large segments of ice separated from it's original geographic composition, concerns for pandemics have been expressed by the leading health organizations as well as prophesy scholars... swine flu not being a regional concern but now a rapidly global alert, all these things can bring up this question... Where does one stand in the scheme of things, the scriptures contain descriptions of events that were to take place, have taken place, and will take place... these are called prophecy and they serve to point to a fact for anyone who seeks to know the answer of the question, where does one stand in the plans of the Creator... are you seeking a role within His Plans. It's not about institutions per say, religious affiliations per say, they can serve the purpose with the appropriate perspective... the question is more of how is your relationship with the Creator of the Universe, do you have a relationship, do you want one, do you listen and seek to understand and incorporate yourself in His Ways? What is your communication with Him like, is it daily, occasional, sporadic... is it structured or spontaneous, maybe even both. Do you get to know Him or just information about Him?  During these kinds of times many have realized that there is a greater Presence in our existence, and nature itself gives witness to the design of it... steps are needed to draw close to Him... to call out from the heart and mind. There is an invitation for all the tribes of the Earth to know Him... He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and anyone who seeks and goes thru Yeshua (in greek Jesus) receives His Mercy and Love, that comes from His Very Own Spirit to then lead and guide us, so we can know Our Father, His Son, and the everpresent Holy Spirit.  These are that time to "seek and find", may God's Presence become evident within you!
