Gonna Happen!

Maybe – Possibly – Perhaps … all words that describe maybe-possibly-perhaps events.  Some might call it their “bucket list” – a phrase inspired by the 2007 movie about things one would like to do in the span of life. I find it especially sad that the traditional hope chest is now replaced by dreams dumped in a bucket!

 

The Prophet Isaiah had much to say and his harsh words were generally caused by rebellious people: “At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of hosts …” (Isaiah 18:7).  Sky-diving used to be something [I thought] I’d like to do, then I decided parasailing might be fun, but now I’m quite content to descend the front porch steps safely!  "Grab all the gusto" you can, we're told; after all, you only live once!  Surely, this is where ignorance and arrogance collide, and foolishness rules.  One day, every king, tribe, and tongue will acknowledge the Creator and declare Christ as Lord and Sovereign King.  I imagine it will be quite the sight since so many here have so little practice.  Scripture tells us in that day, God will "render to every man according to his works." (Psalm 62:12, Proverbs 24:12).  No need to put this in your bucket – there’s no maybe-possibly-perhaps about it: it's gonna happen! Live for Him today!
