Before the Dawn

It has long been said that night is darkest before the dawn. I spent a lifetime backpacking and I will agree with this to a degree. It kind of depends on the rising and setting of the moon, the weather, the forest height, etc. When a person denotes variables such as these it rather clouds the message doesn’t it? Such is the problem with science as these sayings came about long before science, as we know it, came to be. Folks just weren’t as sophisticated back then. What in the dogs breath is he speaking about?

Well, after college I learned to see “old sayings” for what they were. Descriptions of the human psyche.The way we go through life getting knocked down and picking ourselves back up. This is the same way I read the bible. You have to figure that the book was written so that it could be understood with only one qualification: being able to read. When I thought I understood this it opened up a myriad of truth for me because the bible may or may not hide numerical code, messages within the text, or mysteries as yet unsolved. What it does do is tell us how to live properly. That is the gist of the entire book.

It says a lot of things in pursuit of how to live properly and gives examples which I call, “signposts.” King David and Solomon are signposts. Speaking of signposts, how long is one day for God? Why is this pertinent? Because He created the universe in six days including Earth. Were the length of these our days or His days, seeing as time has no relevance in Heaven?

Read it for what it tells you and put the “world’s” opinions away while you read it. Conjecture is great but the words and what the bible tells us is far greater. And, it is written so that the least of us can get the proper message from it. Open hearts understand quicker than a mind playing with variables.
