Do Something They’ll Charge You For

From today’s reading…

For thousands of years the elite among us—even those in positions of leadership—have wasted our time, our energy, our resources, our trust, and our money by focusing on stopping what they hate instead of promoting what they love.

As bad as that is, what they hate is what is best for us because what they hate is what will take them down a notch.

What they hate shines a light on their plans formed in darkness.

What they hate will force them to be honest for the first time in their lives.

What they hate is what takes away their creature comforts, their entourages, their servants, their glamorous seating, and their facades.

These elites not only do not care for you and me, but they will also harm, threaten, beat, arrest, and kill you and me if it protects even one corner of their life of ease, one secret, one bribe, one quid pro quo, one dalliance, one of their countless lies.

These elite have been seduced by the devil and they now do his bidding.

Jesus knew this and He cured the man with the withered hand anyway because He knew it was the right thing to do, and doing the hard right instead of the easy wrong despite any discomfort it may bring you is the only way to…

Stay the course. Keep the faith. Endure.

Now go sell something.
