" NOR THINGS PRESENT" vs 38
"Nor things to come", doesn't seem to weigh as heavy on my heart. That is future stuff. And to me it is easier to relax, knowing God will take care of all the "things to come stuff". But we are living in the "things present" and thats where i see a lot of challenging issues. Even death and life, angels, principalities,& powers are above my pay-grade. But again its the "things present"that really hurts.
Present tense enigmas, as DIVISION, in the church (clergy/laity) separation, which was never endorsed by the Lord Jesus. He even said twice, in Rev.2;6 & 2;15 that he hated the (nico/laitian) doctrine & deeds! But in "things present", this breach runs unabated and not challenged presently by any "so-called" leaders, in the church. And one is left to deal with this painful heart ache (division causing doctrine), in the present, alone. The culture of clergy, grows ever stonger, everywhere, and it is akin to the (POLITICAL CONGRESS-LOBBYIST CULTURE); both producing men in shinny suits and ties, with "milk toast hands", living a life of ease relative , to the divided out ones (LAITY), the pick-up truck grunts.
Also division in marriage, "a things present" issue, being also a heart-ache. 33 years ago the preacher pronounced us one and we have been fighting ever since to see "which won". I am a faithful husband, but division makes one lonely! How i have desired to have my lady, on my side pulling with me, but i see now thats not the plan. Division is rampant, in church, in government, and in personal relationships, and its all in the "NOR THINGS PRESENT"!
So what now? Vs. 39 " none of this will be able to separate us from the love of God!" Because we see in vs.28 - God will use all this for good, to those who love God. And the comfort we now have is that God will "UNITE" our hearts ps 86;11, so we can walk in the truth and fear His name; "THIS UNITY" is only what can grant rest from the enigmas of "DIVISION", in the "NOR THINGS PRESENT". agape----- reggie --
