Last November an Arctic Storm dramatically extended my hunting trip on Kodiak Island. When the water supply froze solid, a new source of water had to be found. This little drainage of water, running down the side of the mountain to the sea, gave us what we needed.
People might survive 70 days without food, as in the case of a handful of prisoners in Northern Ireland engaged in a hunger strike back in 1985. But people don't last two weeks without water. Water is essential.
Kodiak's Ugak Bay appears to filled with water. It is, but there's a problem. It's salt water and that makes it undrinkable. It appears to be the thing you need the most, but it'll kill you.
Don't be deceived. This world is filled with placebos, lies and deception - things that look like the answer to your problems and the satisfaction of your desires. But everything is not as it appears.
Beware.
Twinkies look like food. CGI animation can have you gazing in the sky for flying Avatar dragons, short-cuts look like good ideas, cheating makes sense, porn looks like love and debt looks like freedom. These are lies, all lies.
Don't settle for anything less than the real thing; nothing else satisfies.
Romans 1:24-25 - It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us.
Great insights and OH by the way I love the new picture on the top of the blog you look so warm amidst all that cold..
God Blesses us well.
