We really NEED to develop SOUNDNESS, which, includes, morality, ethics, virtues, and well, all things good, that, we are standing SOLID IN THE TRUTH! When we are in a fickle state, we sway to the left, we sway to the right, and, we are blown in the direction of many factors, or, influences! When we are SOUND, we rely on *GOD*, thus, we discern, BEFORE we move in any direction, assured of moving correctly! This is very difficult to explain, but, is necessary too!!!
Looking back on my life, I was as fickle, as fickle can be! I always lived by the creed of going with the flow, and, wow!, that flow was all over the board:))) I am a very loyal, dedicated, being, but, for reasons I won't go into, I sort of, like, flowed all over the place, as does driftwood on water! I can SEE it now, but, would have never admitted it before! *GOD* was in my thoughts, and, heart, but, was not the premise of my thoughts, actions, and, reactions; of course, I had worldly influences, convincing me, that I was well within my rights, to do whatever! Now, I KNOW I was afar from HIM, even if I did LOVE, and, revere HIM, I was too busy flowing, to be solid in my advancements towards HIM, and, HIS WILL!!!
We don't REALLY want to hear THE TRUTH, IF it means we have to change our ways, alter our characters, and, behaviours, and, align TO THE WAY! We really want it all, the world, and, *GOD*, but, deep down inside, where THE SPIRIT sits waiting for us to become SOUND, we KNOW that we CAN'T have it both ways; we HAVE to USE that free will, which, *GOD* gave us, and, make a choice! Not for ANY OTHER REASON than for the spirit, within! This spirit, has the opportunity to live in eternity, or, well, you know the alternative! We believe we are free spirits, and, that we have LOTS of time to make our decision, but, know what?, time slips by so fast, it leaves you breathless, AND, you NEVER know what the next minutes, hours, or, days, will unfold for you! It is a dangerous mentality to ASSUME that you are in the right, and, that, you have time to play with!!!
ALL of this fickleness, and, taking things for granted, is part of the ploys of the deceiver, and, no wonder, look at how effective it is!!!
We are, EXTREMELY, untaught, as we are raised! FEW Parents, Teachers, or, other responsible Adults, DRIVE HOME the necessary instructions for our lives! One of the MANY reasons for this is, the defiant scoffing that, comes from TRYING to TEACH! The SERIOUSNESS of the IMPERATIVES, are restrictive, firm, and, SEEM SO stern, especially to Children; so, it has become a method of instilling, in part, certain messages, here, and, there, which, has led to knowledge void of SOUNDNESS!!!
*GOD* ALONE, HAS the tools, keys, and, provisions, FOR SOUNDNESS! THE WORD IS FULL of SOUNDNESS, AUTHORED FOR US, HIS people, THAT, we are safe from the dangers, which, being fickle, incurs!!!
You can't learn Math in part, you can't learn Language(s) in part, you can't learn Literature in part, and, you can't learn *GOD* in part; it just DOESN'T work that way!!!
SOUNDNESS IS THE WAY, and, fickleness is of this world! We HAVE a CHOICE, but, not in part; it HAS to be WHOLLY deliberate, sincere, and then, realized! The path to *GOD* is narrow, SOUND, and, true, but, it is a path, which, leads us AWAY from the things we THINK we LOVE, need, and, can't live without, so, we skirt the path, intending to, eventually, jump onto it, at an opportune time, and, place, but, remember, time is not ours to determine, it IS THE LORD'S own, with SOUND REASON, and, PURPOSE! YES, narrow IS the path, but, it is beauuuuuuuutiful, BLESSED, awesome, inspiring, and, benevolent!!!
