Well, thanks for help against the cynical
that is evoked by mindset that is left
from mechanising all that’s personal,
manipulating, grasping, and bereft
of meaning, purpose, insight that sees whole
big picture that surrounds us in this world.
We would evoke the mindset of the soul
whose right insight sees more than flags unfurled
yet understands the meaning of the plight
of tiny people here with monsters round
about, there’s nations, entities which might
soon crush us if the antidote’s not found.
The anti-dote to anti-christ mindset
(the one that loves each mechanism/law
yet as a tiny self, can quite forget
the reason we are meant to be here for),
is simply be a human learning from
who's higher up than us, a God in fact.
To see what’s good, and speak it out anon;
not for myself, or maybe just plain act
it out, the first chance that I really get,
with all the energy he works in me,
the spirit of this Christ sufficed. You bet!
To help us act, and learn, and turn, to see.
And his method of ruling is to serve
as parents do their children whom they love.
It is no power play, they need their nerve,
to stick to what births good, & not just shove.
“His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence. [4] Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust and may become participants of the divine nature. [5] For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with excellence, and excellence with knowledge,
[7] and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love. [8] For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [9] For anyone who lacks these things is blind, suffering from eye disease, forgetful of the cleansing of past sins. [10] Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more eager to confirm your call and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble. [11] For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. [12] Therefore I intend to keep on reminding you of these things, though you know them already and are established in the truth that has come to you. [13] I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory, [14] since I know that my death will come soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. [15] And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. [16] For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. [17] For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” [18] We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. [19] So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” 2 Peter 1:3-5, 7-19 NRSVUE
“Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him. [39] She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus’s feet and listened to what he was saying. [40] But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her, then, to help me.” [41] But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things, [42] but few things are needed—indeed only one. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”” Luke 10:38-42 NRSVUE
