It’s a New World Order Alright

…
I have been using Mr. Pinks The Bible Incorporated in your Life, job and business for over 10 years. It has guided us through all kinds of situations. I just ordered 10 of them to give to friends. I found that he has a web site, many other tools for those of us in business and his wonderful blog I just signed up to.

Listen. Government as we want to believe it exists, died a long time ago or at least became terribly anemic and somewhat parasitic. We only have the façade of being “for the people”. Not that there aren’t good people in government. It’s just that they can all fit into a single school bus! OK. So I am overstating the obvious but government is less controlled by the people it governs than by the corporate, sometimes international corporate interests it really serves. As bad as that is, there is a piece of good news you’ve got to read again. A monarch actually wrote these words…

“Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His great displeasure. Yet have I set My king upon My holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:1-6 (Grant it Lord!)

So while the world turns and changes and transforms in front of our very eyes and while there is a hidden agenda that does not have our best interests in mind (to say the least), this also creates an opportunity for us. Crisis always creates opportunity. If the economy caves and your 401K evaporates are you prepared mentally and spiritually to weather that storm and chart a new course that not only preserves and protects your family but also provides an ark of sorts to help those who are still partying like it’s 1999?

Don’t wait for disaster or difficult times to prepare. Jesus refers to that strategy as the “foolish virgin strategy”. Prepare now. How can you do that you ask? That’s a huge question, but first and foremost you better get used to hearing and obeying the leading of the Lord. If you are too busy to quiet the distractions and hear God’s voice, you are way too busy.
