Deflation has entered my mind, it’s not a comforting feeling that is for sure. It’s bewildering, confusing and making you feel almost utterly unresponsive. The thing about this feeling is that no one has anything to me personally. It’s more my own response to people’s Apathy. Make no mistake, Apathy is the disease that is destroying not just America as a country but the World.
People are so caught up in their own lives that they have a genuine lack of concern for what going to in the world around them. Or they don’t know how to fix what’s going and they can’t find the time to do something about it.
Over the past year, I’ve providentially found a number of songs that talks about seeing the problem and then fixing that problem. One of these songs is “Fix my eyes” by For King and Country and the other of these songs is “DO Something” by Matthew West. Both songs address Fixing the problems you see, but sadly the people that I know, either don’t see the problem , they do and they don’t care, they see it and don’t know how to fix it or see the problem and can help fix it but somehow don’t have time to help fix it.
I think that people just cling to your own lives and are unwilling to come to the end of themselves. They are unwilling to help because they are scared and have a small view of God.
I admit sometimes it’s hard not to have a small view of God, but God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He hung the earth perfectly where we are. I pray a lot more than I ever had in the past, why, because things matter, people matter. Sometimes it can seem like I’m asking for the impossible stuff of God, but nothing is impossible for God.
Mark Batterson has said, “ the greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go UNANSWERED because they go UNASKED.”
I believe that whole heartily, you with not get 100% of thing you don’t ask for.
I believe that God can change things, but he doesn't simply because his people don’t ask him too.
