The Lake

December 6, 2010..while in class..feeling a little down because I was not getting the grade....

If you have ever looked over a lake, you notice the water and the clear reflection of whatever is around it. Many times, we just like to have the image of a calm lake with the birds singing and ducks floating and quacking about. Have you ever watched the lakes response to the winds and storms that it encounters, when the wind is still, so it the water unless something penetrates it. When the wind is strong, the lake waters moves quickly in the same direction (that’s how we should be as Christians when the winds rages about us we should be able to all flow together in the same direction). If there are sticks rocks or even animals in its path, in or on it, it changes not its direction unless the wind blows another direction. (Many times when we have things in our path we stop or move around it). Water see an obstacle, it moves thru it, if it cannot be moved, it will come up with the tide, but if not it just flows over it, which is amazing, because we see a block in our way and we analyze it and say “there is no way through”. We stand still or call for help to move it, but if we take a note from the water we will know that there is always an easier way. Look to the sides, No! Look under, No! Look over, No! Therefore, we just give up and take our chances with the wind behind us to go against the storm.

The best way in a situation is to get your tools and prepare to go thru this rock. This rock represents the bible- we try to pick up all other types of material to try to get around, above, or underneath it, but the thing is to go thru it. We try to avoid all cost to read this book because so many say it is complicated or it is just a story, but the bible (rock) prepares you for the wind or storm blowing your way.

How do you prepare for this rock? Consider the water, if it is something in its path it will beat up against it and it use its fluid ability to change with the weather. When the weather is cold it freezes which makes the rock hard, but weak, so when it sees a week point it embeds itself with in it, and when it freezes the rock then starts to crack more. When it is hot, the heat expands the spaces, and it starts this cycle repeatedly until it has broken the rock apart and formed great canyons. This is how we should do with the bible we should be prepared to beat up against it with perseverance and determination until you move it or it will move you. (Jacob wrestle all night with the angle blessed him, you have to do the same with the bible, you cannot let it go until it blesses you, and even then, keep holding on to it.)

The rock has power in itself for if the water is not able to penetrate it, it causes the water to take another path to get to that same spot. The rock is the one with the power, it can decide to stay solid to you for years, but it depends on the determination of the water that will have it to become weakened. If you want to know the word and ways of God, you have to break the bible down or else you will be lost, and held up longer, in the process of getting through to your destination.

The wind is not your problem; the issue is how well you know the Rock. Think about it if you’re walking in the world with a blind fold on for the first few weeks or so of walking through your own environment you will notice that there are obstacle in your path that has always been there, but now it is up to you to remember blind folded where and what they are. That object gives you certain knowledge of your environment. This is what the bible does it helps you to recognize your environment. The word of God says, “That there is nothing uncommon to man”. The world is your environment, and you are walking around in it blind folded, the bible is a look in the past of how people with the same situation as yours dealt with it, you have good examples and bad examples, why not feel your ways around through it that you get to know your environment. The rock knows what is behind it, you however do not, so it would be wise to go thru it and it will tell you where it came from.

God gave us this word because He can see what the pattern of the enemy is. The whole bible is God slowly shedding you from your blindfold, or helping you adapt to being in a place of darkness, by giving you a light of knowledge and wisdom, to see.

Please my brothers and sisters refrain from going against the storm when all you have to do is use the storm to your advantage to weaken the situations in your life they no longer have power over you but instill power within you.

I will imput scriptures in here, later after going through it again, to reference in bible where some events in bible history fit here, b my gust to post them if you recognize some, and I will impute those as well..Love you all.
