You will recalled not long ago we shared together whathappen when it is raining on your parade routes. That
was up close and personal. Now I would revisit that
with this final thought.
It is customary for us to make resolution for the
commencing of a new year. Expectation run high, moving
forward with a sort of a mythical feeling as we write the
constitutional blue print that will act as the underpinning
for our dreams ahead. Our dreams do need some leg
work, from the drawing board to where it must be.
So here we go,Dr Spencer host of the church, the M.H
television show,and I spent considerable time at the
studio getting tapes ready for up coming shows.
This was January 06/2011, so it was quite late when we
got home the night. I only had a few hour to spare. The
day promises to be a good one, base on the activities. The
tape must be at the station on time; next appointment with
friend about a business proposal they wanted me to see.
Now heading out on highway 427 South going to Burlington,
my truck span out of control, turn over a few times, then ended
up into a dish. Imagine the nightmare, and my birthday coming
just days ahead. Months before that my car almost ran me over.
Talk about raining on my parade; this was heavy. We often
asked why?, and there is no easy answerer to our why; complex
or simple. It is in these moments that we really felt the need to
truth. Spiritually speaking, the spirit of God takes us places at
times where we must soar like eagle, or in valley where we are
tried, tested. Called it our training academy for greater services
for the good.
A reminder from Proverbs " Trust in the Lord with all thine heart:
and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" Tryon Edwards,
" People never improve themselves, unless they look to some
standard or example higher or better then themselves". Whatever
the lesson to learn, or the steps to be taken to improve ourselves,
there is a standard, a principle higher above us that requiter a
reaching to. A center, a reference point that we must lay hold have.
When it is raining on your parade, God is right there walking along
with you. I walked away from the incident unhurt which was more
than I could asked for. One could find a happier person then, still
thanking God for the victory even now.
Now I will close with this,it is raining on your parade.Be encourage, it
could be your golden moment of opportunity, keep hope alive. Hope
is not a strategy, but there is a good does of optimism which will
activate your creative pules.
That is my take today, and certainly there is hope to live by, be bless.
