The reality is, levity is the real secret to making everything in the world run right.
God truly is in control. He's a funny guy, but nobody likes a wise guy. It's a tough crowd out there, even though people have been warned that He is going to destroy the wisdom of the wise.
Case in point... the Levites were put in charge of the Temple:
levity (n.)
1560s, "want of seriousness, frivolity," from French levite, from Latin levitatem (nominative levitas) "lightness," literal and figurative; "light-mindedness, frivolity," from levis "light" in weight, from PIE root *legwh- "not heavy, having little weight." In old science (16c.-17c.), the name of a force or property of physical bodies, the opposite of gravity, causing them to tend to rise.
How long before some slacker comes along to admonish me that I can't do that. Well I just did.
It's life from the dead. Lifted right up on eagles' wings. The stuff that just sits there wanting to fly.
"You know that new sound you' looking for? Well listen to this."
Yes, there are people who don’t trust those who never smile.
I was told by some of my ME friends that they did not trust General Votel, because he never smiled. I replied, well if you answered to President Obama would you smile? Later when Trump was president, you would not believe how much they liked General Votel. And General Votel was a great defender of them.
So, your point is correct. We should be careful how important we think our own abilities really are. God probably is getting a chuckle about what he sees.
So, what about the ComDem know it alls in US government? Who daily thumb their nose at the very concept of God.
Who will get the laugh on that?
Best post I’ve seen in ages....decades....years? Thanks for the memory.
