Greetings Dear Reader,
Too often we think that the outlook is the answer. In the current climate the outlook is not
good in many ways. A madman in Asia
threatens the world. Our own nation is
divided on so many issues that it is frightening. The outlook in the now is not good.
That, however, is not supposed to be my focus. It does not take many words to explain that
no matter the current distress my outlook is supposed to be colored by my
faith. It always comes back to
that. It is always the undercurrent of
what I perceive in the world.
When I accept that I must live by faith and not by sight
then there are certain things that must inform my outlook. The first is that Jesus does not wish us to
live in fear and worry. He wants us to
consider that all things will unfold to his ultimate success in bringing the
world back to good.
The bad in the world will run its course. There will be hard times and there will be
bad things. In every response the Father
has the goal of healing the world in the plan.
It is my duty to follow his Son in faith knowing that no matter how deep
and dark my current valley may be, the outlook is good.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
