STEADY PILLARS

"We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks; your name is near.  People tell of your wondrous deeds.  At the set time that I appoint I will judge with equity.  When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep it's pillars steady" (Psalm 75:1-3).

I heard somewhere that, "Something can be real without it being true."  I watch with others while this plays out in the "tottering" world of politics.

That said, Jesus did not say, "I am reality."

He said, "I am the Truth."

He did not say, "I am the right or the left."

He said, "I am the Way and the Light."

He did not say, "You are with-me or against-me."  Well actually he did, but we know Jesus grew and learned while on earth.  Later Jesus actions show him transcending "with-me or against-me" thinking.

Is this where we are now?  Are we at that same "with-me or against-me" place of human transcendence?

If so, "Then here is exactly where we are supposed to be" (St. Teresa of Avila).

God will keep our pillars steady--

Fear not.

Amen
