Orders, Borders, Obedience or Disorders
Orders, Borders, Obedience or Disorders
"Now
Jehovah is the Spirit,
and where the spirit of Jehovah is,
There is Freedom." 2 Cor. 3:17.
And just where can that spirit exist
for universal true freedom to commence and persist?
A spirit refreshing as a sweet breeze
can inspire you to aspire to monumental heights
where insight gained shines as a brilliant light.
Guide your path of life
to more tranquillity
more peacefulness
and days increased
for nights
to slumber at ease.
Sprout in you
wonderful fruitage bountiful
as on a flourishing vine joyously plentiful
fine qualities
developed
patiently
yes, lovely
over time:
"love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness,
goodness, faith, mildness,
self-control."
Granting you less stress
as left behind
anger and rage
which distort vision
since blinded by a chaotic mind
not at liberty
calmness to find.
In daily activities,
if you choose to do
apply these fruits
"Against
such things
there is no law." Galatians 5:22, 23.
Only then can crippling aggravation be smoothly and continuously subdued.
For this pointed fact does remain:
Laws exist to order maintain.
And Jah Jehovah does proclaim:
“I, Jehovah, am your God,
The One teaching you to benefit yourself,
The One guiding you
in the way you should walk.
If only
you would pay attention to my commandments!
Then your peace
would become just like a river
And your righteousness
like the waves of the sea." Isa. 48:17, 18.
What a lovely visual
of his perfect guarantee!
So, imagine this global scenario
then you may agree
that relative freedom
is for our eternal universal
loving
security:
A young couple to home returns
with their precious baby. Yearning to raise a caring contributor to society.
They install monitors
set up guards for its' protection
and personal safety to keep.
Just saying to them "no"
overtime
since limited their understanding
and human speech.
However, as they begin to toddle
with more exciting things within their reach
a little firmer
parents deny
though wider the borders
for them to discover as they begin to question "why"
their now seemingly eternal
consistent beseech.
Loving parents
with simple answers
do patiently explain
while still demanding obedience
if not immediately understood
explanations
just the same.
Yet, as their child
continues to grow
reasonings
become more specific
as they develop their desire to know.
Although,
not always given
every conceivable ending to scenarios
for their individual actions
in which they are determined to go.
"Don't play with fire."
An obedient child
near a flame
doesn't always immediately inquire
about what's to gain
since wanting parental love
their main desire. Not causing them shame.
But an inquisitive child
may insist to try.
However, as a sad ramification
this child may end up burnt badly
or even cause others
in his curiosity
injury or to even die
catapulting parents
into sorrow. Daily to cry.
Yes, often heard when young:
"Don't play in the streets!" Since living around high traffic
this constantly bore a repeat
until understood what boundaries to in good judgment
strenuously keep.
Consequences.
Causes and effects.
Still, we won't know all.
But given us time
to expand our knowledge
if in wisdom
we earnestly search
and honestly seek
God's holy spirit will help us reminders
recall.
For in an eternity of dawns
gloriously bestowed
our curiosities
will like clean pure rivers
forever flow.
And as heavenly mountains
impressive to climb.
Never to weary.
Or our visions to peak
as our hearts,
Jah refines
until
harmonized
with this statement
we too are wisely inclined:
"I well know,
O Jehovah,
that man’s way does not belong to him.
It does not belong to man who is walking
even to direct his step.
Correct me,
O Jehovah,
with judgment,
But not in your anger,
that you may not reduce me to nothing." Jer. 10:23, 24.
Upon this wise admonition
may we daily reflect.
Then relative freedom
under Christ's Kingship
we too
will eternally
select.
So as,
like Jerusalem of old
after being corrected,
we will enjoy
this future Jah Jehovah foretold:
"‘Here I am bringing recuperation and health to her,
and I will heal them
and reveal to them
an abundance of peace
and truth." Jer. 33:6.
"I will make your battlements of rubies,
Your gates of sparkling stones,
And all your boundaries of precious stones.
And all your sons will be taught by Jehovah,
And the peace of your sons will be abundant." Isa. 54:12, 13.
Jehovah is the Spirit,
and where the spirit of Jehovah is,
There is Freedom." 2 Cor. 3:17.

for universal true freedom to commence and persist?
