Wink - A brief time; an instant.
A new little fun site for 2010. Check out Wink, a photo strip that you make and send to anyone. For $2.50, they will send your personalized photo strip (in hard copy form) to the person of your choosing. The possibilities are endless and you don't have to worry about stamps or cards or envelopes. A fun little thing that just might make some one's day!
A brief time, an instant. Our world can go from extremely good to terribly wrong. Reading a book I got from DD, Mark Batterson's - based on 2 Samuel, 23 chapter, verse 20 and 21.
There was also Benaiah... Another time he chased a lion down int a pit. Then despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it...
His point is that most of run away from lions, don't chase them Normal people don't embrace lion chasing. He goes on to say...
I wish I could tell you that every lion chase ends with a lion skin hanging on the wall, but it doesn't...what sets lion chasers apart isn't the outcome.
From where I sit, there doesn't seem to bit much difference in Real Life for those who call themselves believers. We focus on the outcome because of fear. We pray with an expected outcome based on our own scale of the good we have done.
What sets believers apart isn't the outcome.
We already know how it ends, for each and every one of us. We really want to believe that everyone, except those we determine need to have an early exit, should live to a ripe old age of 90 or so. When our prayers are not answered and a baby dies or someone dies at the hands of another, we go into defense mode and question every belief we hold dear.
So, here is the deal. We are here for a brief time, and can be gone in an instant. In the wink of an eye. That tells me, to get out there and chase some lions. Oh Lord, here we go...
