Let me use a more personal example. Let us say that you got yourself into some financial trouble. You took out a too large of a loan, because you thought a great business opportunity would work, but it didn’t. You’re financially underwater.
You’re headed for a reset, because you are either going to voluntarily fix your situation, in hopes of salvaging something financially or you are going to have this reset done to you.
If you do it yourself, you might have to sell your house and your car and your boat and everything, but at least you might be able to sell your house and buy a three bedroom apartment that is near your work, so you can forego the expense of a car as well.
However, if you try and hold onto everything and only make the most minimal cuts possible to try and hold on, you risk losing your house and your business and everything and you won’t be salvaging anything.
We are creatures that need to abide by natural law in order to prosper. When we get away from adherence to natural law, to which you can also call that consequences, we start to destabilize our society. It starts to resemble a Jenga tower over time.
God allows us to move away from adherence to consequences, because sometimes we need to in order to accomplish something large. Like a community building a $30 million school. If we had to save the money for it, before building it, it would never get built. However, we can’t keep adding to that debt. It needs to be paid back. You can’t keep adding parks and swimming pools and shine government buildings. If you do that, you’ll lose that school as well. You won’t own any of it and somebody else will.
MY statement about the reset is more than just financial, although the $25 trillion debt is definitely part of that reset. We also have kids who aren’t fit for work, despite carrying heavy student loans. We have families that aren’t well. We have unfair laws on the books. We protect large corporations, at the expense of small business. There are a lot of areas where America is not adhering to consequences and society is destabilizing as a result. It can be turned around, but the question do we want to turn it around? Will we figure out that we want to do it in time?
Thanks for your explanation and insight!
