Our of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Psalm 8:2
At that time Jesus answered and said, ‘I thank You Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.’ Matthew 11:25
All is Vanity and a Striving After the Wind Ecclesiastes 1:2
We find ourselves standing on the pavement of another heavily engineered, multi-million-dollar institutional calendar day. The wise and the prudent of the modern bullpen have put on their formal media robes, turned up their high-overhead studio spotlights and unleashed an unbroken stream of hyper-vigilant countdown clocks designed explicitly to convince the population that the entire universe is hanging by a fragile thread. They tell you that your very breath, your worth, and your future safety answer directly to the data rows of their electronic ballot boxes. They want you to act like a hand-wringing hostage inside their artificial Truman Show Dome, completely blind to the unhurried residual gravity of real-world creation.
This is a screenshot from a video of the desperate attempt recently to save the PCH near Laguna Beach from the mighty ocean. My nine-year-old granddaughter just arriving home from school to see the video I was watching, and what were her immediate words for their multi-billion-dollar theater? None other than: “STUPID! Haven’t they seen the movie Elemental? One wave is going to come and ‘POOF’ it’s gone!” In the Disney movie Elemental, the characters spend the entire script frantically building artificial sandbags, pouring concrete walls, and erecting rigid structural blockades to keep the elements apart, terrified of what will happen if the fire and water ever mix. They run themselves ragged on a performance scorecard of control. Yet at the final climax of the story, the natural element of water simply rises up, bubbles right past their sandbags, and effortlessly dissolves their fragile walls–proving that the natural architecture of creation always runs the entire table without negotiation! Which reminds me of something wise I also saw on the internet:
The corporate caddies want you to believe that tomorrow morning will bring a catastrophic shift. But the watchman eye looks flat at their parameters and issues the supreme sovereign decree:
POOF, it’s over!
When the sun rises tomorrow, absolutely nothing of eternal substance will have changed. It will simply be another beautiful day. The politicians won’t have destroyed the world, the electronic scorecards won’t have altered your inheritance, and the empire’s noise will simply roll over into a different day of standard bureaucratic commentary. Blah, Blah, Blah. It is the exact, literal echo of King Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes:
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity… That which has been, is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:2, 9.
Every single high overhead human sandbox built on a lens of manipulation, fear porn, and calculation is nothing but a fragile sand wall on a wet beach. The true King already ran the entire global table 2,000 years ago when He hung naked on that cross, filed the ultimate cosmic bankruptcy over their account, and issued the final, irreversible legal decree:
Tetelestai! — It is finished! John 19:30
The “house of the wicked” was permanently foreclosed and turned into a neutralized corpse on that hill (Proverbs 14:11). Our names are permanently sealed with un-erasable ink, and our radiant “tent of the upright” is flourishing under pure Day 5 sunshine. Turn off their television glare, let the puppets read their scripts, and rest completely inside the unhurried carefree secrecy of the Father’s house today!
