Calm Chaos

This is definitely not a normal condition to be sure. It is hard to imagine in a general situation how this would take place.

But the reality is that there are times when in the midst of some insanity, there is a chance for finding some calm. Hopefully the type of calm where God's spirit touches in some special way.

That can truly inspire a sense of well being. With most people who find a form of calm in the midst of a challenge or crisis, they will offer up some reason for it related to their own means of control. It will be some kind of formula or method that truly does work in their thinking.

But to me this is a focus related mainly to be directed at the individual and not in a way that will work for everyone. Not that every time God's spirit touches it means that things will be in a way that applies to everyone equally.

However, when God is involved it will be more natural and clear that it has no direction to glorify the individual. That truly is the different from my point of view.

And it is intended to help drive one to closer forms of faith. To help us lean closer to the Lord.

That is always a positive aspect. It will be serve to help and not hurt in the long run. To bring a peace and assurance when the next crisis takes place.

With other forms, they may or may not work. It will not always be the kind of guaranteed formula of success.

But that won't keep some from viewing it that way. They will always regard it as a case of their solution is perfect for everyone.

Nice sale if it happens. Such a dream if it were real. But it just never truly seems to work out that way.

Plus as humans, we do often find ourselves in the position where we change. So what happens it that yesterday's solution doesn't work for tomorrow's problem.

All because we changed in the process and not because the nature of such solutions has been altered. Formulas do work at times, just not all the time.

We wander our ways by choice at times. We can either embrace God on that path or we can avoid it.

That is at times the only aspect of choice open to us. And whether we accept it is the question we face every day.
