How Long Will It Be Before
No Eggs Will Hatch?
Psalm 102:17
God will regard the prayer of the destitute, and will not despise their prayer.
Philippians 4:6
Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Words of Grace For Today
The not unusual question came over the phone from a telephone support person, “Are there any other questions you have?”
I gave him a list:
- What is the meaning of life?
- How can we deal with world overpopulation?
- How can we solve Climate Change this year?
- How do we solve the pervasive problem of racism and injustice against the poor?
- How can we solve the huge inequality problem throughout the world that is the root cause of so many other problems?
- How will I ever get out of debt?
- What is God doing while we systematically, methodically wipe out the environment that supports life on earth?
- How can we finally get truth to be valued and upheld in all aspects of life, especially in our courts?
- Are we going to poison ourselves to death like the Romans did with lead; though we are using the likes of PFAS and so many other toxins in daily life, like gasoline?
I ended with, “Those are just a few question I have.”
The reply was, “I’m not philosophical, so I don’t have the answers.”
I chuckled as the help person did as well.
But these questions are not laughing matters.
And the truth is, whether one is philosophical or not one needs to ask them and have at least a rough outline of possible answers. That’s a basic responsibility for anyone renting air on earth these days.
In the end, whether we solve any of these or none, we all need most of to
pray.
