*MEDITATE (3)*(Job 38)

We look to get too  comfortable on earth...Grabbing everything, Coveting any other, Cheating  everyone, Discrimating amongst ourselves and letting any other thing be our prime concern other than eternity. 

We are continually  laying our treasures here on earth and putting  our Heart in them so much  so that we are afraid  to die. _(Whichever way it is never easy but this is the point... )_

Times such as this affords us the opportunity to sit back and review our ways,  simply  asking ourselves *if We are heavenly minded enough...* even as we pursue  in all our *good* gettings. 

Once again,  our continuing passage in  Job is of help. #Meditate 
 

_From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens. When the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?_ 

_"Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion?Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?_

_Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up [God's ] dominion over the earth?"Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water?_

_Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, `Here we are'?Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind ?_ 

_Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?_

_"Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the Lions when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?_

So I Say: *MEDITATE*
