Are You Heating your part of the world?

The cold of the car makes me think of how we heat our world. The heat is broken in the car. We spent the morning heating rocks and other things to make the car tolerable for our daddy to spend so much time driving to work in. Teamwork in heating the car for a reason makes me think.

Benjamin Banneker put on the front of his almanac, the judgements of the weather patterns. The fact that God is intimately involved in the weather patterns was more prevalent a knowledge, the fewer conveniences that people had, as in those days.

When I look at the clouds and see the swirling, it reminds me of when I am making the grits, in the morning. Is the world heated enough with the will of God for the salt to swirl and for the accomplishment of His will. He is not making grits. But, He is accomplishing a goal and it doesn't take alot of people doing God's will to have God be intimately accomplished. Daniel and the Hebrew boys heated up their world, just the 3 of them. God did so much in that generation. Healing and help and progress are tied to the obedience of God's people. The other people may enjoy the runoff, but God's heart is for His people. When God pours the salt into the environment, does it hit the bottom of the bowl, for tepidness, or does it swirl that it is time for God to do great things. Obedience is better than sacrifice. It is not about how many or who you "win". It is about what you are doing in obedience to His will and do you know it. Self examination of your soul. God has things to do in our world. Are we part of the heat, or part of the coolness? Frances Schaeffer said "it is not about what you do with the Humanities..." I love that terminology, in other words, the study of movies and music is what you do with it. It is a means that God can use or litmus test, but God is not testing us in our holiness whether we listen to worldly music or not, or watch worldly movies, but what we are doing for His glory with the time that God has given us. That is harder to talk about than don't go to the movies, or take a drink.
