Mocked by the world. (Matthew 27:27-31)

.. the pain the suffering, has no authority over you. Sorry camera hit the 29 min mark and my vision was a little to fuzzy to see it to try and wrap up in time. The ow has been annoying lately but it has no authority, so I cancel out its power. We do get to do that after all! ^.^ So when the voices of the enemy try to strike you down you can look at the face of those giants, be they literal or figurative, and speak truth, human alone it is impossible but we do not do it alone, HE does it through us and so we can do it because HE is doing it. We are the clay, the tools, the way HE shows HIS glory by using us. We trust HIM, so that even if HE doesn't bring down the giant we want, HE is our hope alone. This is the truth of The WORD and it's beautiful, all the way through, all we need to do is trust HIM. In pain, cool, I'm not the one doing it. (Even when I am.) Told you, wonderful seemingly paradoxical. Stop looking at it from the human end of things. Trust HIM! Cause bread comes from heaven, water comes from rocks, where GOD comes down from the mountain to be with us and where HIS death sets the many [All who believe in fact] free.

I know the question now is how. How do you trust? It's not a thing we fully do, in truth it starts as baby steps. It's why often tithe comes up, from a language the world speaks (money) to one that it doesn't (faith). We do this by placing things before HIM. Starting with the small and moving to the big, because let's be honest for a moment, as important as money is to the world it is of far less value than the self. And trusting with your -whole- self, that can be scary, and it can be painful when we feel let down. When our expectations kick us in the teeth and try to remove all our hope. It's understandable, take the baby step, if you don't know the one to try, or don't have money, try offering a bit of yourself, take those places, those things that set you off and put it before HIM. Can't stand litter, go and clean some up. Don't like smoking, go do something with it that offers love, not trying to force anything but showing a different way, HIS way. A way of love, of mercy, and of being okay with being last here. We don't always know how to do, what to do, when to do it, and if we are honest when we think about it, all the options can send us into a tailspin so nothing gets done at all, it's fear. A natural enemy to sanity. A unnatural fear when living in our true nature of being HIS. This is a process, this takes time, and effort, and trust, like all real relationships that are going to last. If we have fake relationships with ourselves and with people around us, how can we expect to have a real one with GOD whom we cannot see to look in the eye and have it bug us when when we lie or cheat or steal or hate. How can we love when we live in a place of hate? How can I trust when I am in pain? By taking one step at a time, laying down one thing in trust at a time... by taking steps to walk humbly with our GOD. "You put one foot in front of the other... and soon you'll be walking out the door.... you put one foot in front of the other... and soon you'll be walking in to more."
