I recently moved from my old residence. I am now situated in a different environment. Not a lot of people or any social interactions. Its just a house, out in the middle of the woods. There is a few stores and government buildings in the area. But overall its pretty desolate.
When I was coming here, I was anxious and nervous. Always a unsettling fear, about different environments and situations. But with God, you learn to rely and trust in Him, and not be so much amused by the negativity that satan puts into your head.
This world and life here does battle with the spiritual. Its a reality that affects every conscience human in this world. Our thoughts and the things that enter our mind, do direct and guide us.
Currently I am reading the book of Jeremiah. I was prompted to after having some confusion over a certain verse. It was the matter of the heart. The heart is deceitful above all else, who can know it? nobody but God. I was under the impression that that was a proverb or a psalm, but its actually something that came out of the book of Jeremiah.
The bible is a mystery, not in its context or the information. But just that nobody knows, or can accurately show or represent the original source of findings of the bible. They all are translated from tablets and rocks. Some even on scrolls and different forms of communication, from history.
Currently in this world, there is a battle happening with religion. Its been going on since the beginning of time. But nobody seems to have an absolute or objective trajectory concerning the physical aspect of it. The middle east is chaotic and violent. I have always had the impression and thinking, from since I was young. Because of the past wars.
Even just now we have battled at Iran. And you better believe that religion plays a role. A lot of people are easily persuaded and misguided. but the nearest person who is willing to give them a temporary comfort. And they will soon find out, that person with evil motive and intention, will steal from them not only the comfort, but their ability to feel any real trust in people.
God does speak and work, He in this world, working and operating. But we as humans are concerned about the gravitating itch for pleasure and sin. The peace and the love that God has, is sufficient, and it delivers you from your pain and anxieties.
On the topic of my current situation, my intentions here are to first get established and comfortable with the environment. And then begin to focus on my work and necessary responsibility with local area. I want to be a help to people, not a deterrent. My interest is in Lansing and Michigan, this is my home. Ive grown up here, and its always been home.
I did speak with a man from Africa recently, he was my uber driver. And that did get into the conversation of travel. I do want to see other areas of the world. But most of all I want to make for certain Christianity is strong and bold in all areas of the earth. Right now the struggle is very real and apparent.
I am seeing the Muslim presence becoming overwhelming in Michigan, with Dearborn. And I am also seeing it become overflowing in New York. Do you know that in these populations, normal working class Americans are being bombarded with the distraction and attack of the Islam religion? and that is exactly the kind of thing that is causing all the havoc and chaos in the middle east. And they are now trying to overcome America with it.
America is not a perfect place, its filled with sin not unlike any other region. But Christianity is the bedrock and the foundation of survival. Christ is our salvation.
