Does this sound like something you may have said to
a young person, "don't stand in the street, you'll get..."
and you finish that sentence with, "hit." We learn
from early days what it means to anticipate or plan
against danger, but do we learn to take refuge?

The idea in this Proverb is tied strongly into
the relating of a person to God, the idea is tied
into that because the Hebrew so strongly overtones
their existence with that in their culture. We today
are not so strongly tied into that idea. When this
Proverb says to take refuge it is with the cultural
understanding that your strength and refuge is found
in God. We today in our culture don't see that
we see instead our own way of design and that is
where our flaw is. If you'd like to get some
more impressions of this then click on the tab
on this blog that says, "Taking It Deeper."
In fact we today believe in planning and in our
own ability to strategize so strongly that we will
spend great amounts of time and money doing that.
We will in fact, lay out entire designs based on
the fact that if one thing happens then another
is entirely likely to happen, this is called
"Post Hoc, Ergo Hoc," thinking, "because of
something, this something," the idea of cause
and effect. We see that as truth, and yet
the harder reality is that is almost never
true, there are subtle natures to what takes
place and almost without fail, something that
is believed to be the cause, when it is looked
at long enough and with enough scrutiny is
found to be only a contributing factor of many
that ended up at that result. Truth is,
outside the will of God, we have no cause,
we have no result, but that's a hard truth
that we truly don't like to try and plan for,
do we? Be sure to let us know what you think.
