Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

I trust God and I do believe His way is perfect, and He helps me keep it together. I also believe I am in the minority. All I have to do is look at the actions and reactions of people to find I am not one of them.

Being in the minority does not give me a right to complain. If my first comment here is true, then complaining is not consistent with those beliefs. Other minorities complain, but they do so because they do not have the peace of God leading their lives.

Minorities that scream for equality, justice, fairness, and rights have no real idea of what it means to be free. The only true freedom comes from having the bondage to sin broken. They do not believe that so they do not act upon that belief.

Freedom isn’t freedom if it demands to continue in sin. I understand that, but I am in the minority. The majority sets the rule of law. No law can set you free. The majority dictates what is moral. Being moral does not make you righteous.

I am a minority of one. I have One God, One Lord, One Holy Spirit, they are One. In this I trust and obey.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Exodus 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

Ever see others gain mercy and feel like crying out, “Why not me?” Or perhaps you see others that you deem worthy of mercy yet still suffer. I often think about things like this. I really do not understand. If I were God I’d show mercy to all. If I were God.

See how ridiculous that sounds? I would substitute my judgments for God’s. That isn’t just ridiculous, its rebellious. We might not think of it in those terms but that is exactly what it is, rebellion. It is a difficult thing to be given a heart for others and then watch them suffer. What can we do?

Pray? Intercede? Or does it take something more that I am not prepared to do? Jesus was willing to die. What am I prepared to do?

Maybe that is it. Maybe we are being prepared. What needs to change in me in order to be ready to show mercy? I for one have always looked for the easy out, heaven forbid that I should actually do something. It is so much easier to sit and criticize than to stand up and actually do something. But what?

Luke 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

Do I have that kind of relationship with our Lord to actually ask or have you taken Him for granted? Is my relationship with my Lord only capable of crying “Have mercy on me!” Or will I earnestly plead, “Send me Lord, I will go.”
