Reading providence
I may be a bit slow, but it's really lately dawned on me in a more focused way what exactly we've all been experiencing these last 20 years or so.
People often say, "We're watching a movie." I think this saying gets at real truth. They may say it for different reasons, but I think there's truth in it.
It's easy to observe that some people are awake to the craziness and most are asleep in it. The people asleep in it see everything as normal (and probably don't even see the evil in it all); whereas the people who are awake see the craziness as abnormal and weird and become resentful that things can be so turned upside down. We feel like we're continually being mocked and laughed at by evil and the evil people who are joyously carrying it out. Our chains are continuously being yanked, by people we consider to be worthless trolls at best.
The Bible describes this. A people will come in and use what you built. That feeling of violation. Violated by low IQ types at that.
So, this is God's providence playing out, yet because we are awake it all seems insane. If we were asleep it would be everyday life, with us being numb to all the most dire and evil aspects of it.
A good example is WWII. Most everybody in that day was asleep to everything, thus they were fully 'in it' and pulled by the flow of it. Looking back, those of us now awake to things, we even question the circumstances and general take on WWII. We see its fakeness. How, like most all wars, it was orchestrated. How little bitches could have power to do such a thing.
So we have to realize we're reading providence now. We're awake. So less freaking out about it all is what is necessary. I use to think, if I don't freak out about it it seems like I'm acquiescing to it. Acquiescing to Satan and his kingdom. No, it's OK now to just observe and read providence. In our personal lives to be fully Christian, even warriors, but when observing the larger picture of providence not to freak out about it anymore.
