BEHOLD THE STEADILY-SINKING SUNSET
I, honestly, cannot count the number of times I have wished my cares fell from my shoulders like cannon balls. Many times the environment in the dwellings below seem crowded yet- in reality- so deserted like the dwarves at dawn. While I take responsibility for my gross derelictions of duty and aptly consider them as the chief causatives of my agonies, I also have to vehemently lament why God, for some reason and seasons, torments my spirit as if I were already a castaway. I would tell endless stories of bitter betrayals and disappointments in the most needful hours by those I have trusted the most. Sadly, accepting that humans in this world owe you nothing is a hard pill to swallow when you think they, indeed, owe you everything. I would also tell countless tales of how I have cursed my existence because of losing loved ones, not to mention, persevering hunger and starvation.
Dear brethren, earth is all wails and groans of discomfort. Earth is where selfishness and unkindness prevail in the atmosphere. Where smiles last only a while and happiness- a tough riddle. Where people worship evil for temporal pleasure, wealth and fame. Here, sons disown their fathers and mothers repudiate their daughters. Friends only love you when they need you. Isn't it time we thought of leaving?? Well, I think so.
Earth's evening sun is sinking low and soon darkness shall set in. It's time to refine our characters by dying to self for Christ to come and lift us out of this mess. In Job 19:25-26, the apostle heartens in the most toilsome day and a seemingly approaching dark night, "I know that my redeemer lives and that in the end, he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh, I will see God"- NIV. Many of you, like Job, long for the appearance of our redeemer. As the evening sun sinks, our homeland becomes the everlasting hope. We have to wait for the bright dawn of the next day, the symbolic home, but before- comes the darkest night.
On that night, trials and temptations abound, storms rage, and astoundingly, Christ sleeps beside us. He will always be near in the darkest hour but drowsing- allowing you to take the boldness of Job. Mid the stormy sea, he notices every perplexity and, with pity, focuses on our frail, skimpy efforts trying, in vain, to cure ourselves. He waits on us to relent and rest our cares on Him. He wants us to acknowledge our inability to puzzle out our woes and cast all those muddles upon Him (Mathew 11:28). That's the art of dying to self. Upon our veritable surrender, He wakes up to command the winds and the waves. The sea returns still and the morning gradually breaks. We then see light again- the symbolic home we sang' in this piece of musical inspiration. Yes, we long for home. Would you relish missing home after the brawls of Earth? "The long dark night is almost gone, the morning soon will break- SDAH 439".
