Time for Action

For the most part, our society has taken the lead from Washington and we're becoming "all talk." If you doubt me, look at the number of ministries, pastors, and rabbis, collecting on Facebook. As a society, we are no longer a people of action, just talk. People are talking and talking and talking about all the wisdom and insight into the wrongfulness of others, while doing little else than talk. It is time for action.

If Washington can keep us all talking and lulled into waiting on "their" next collective move, we'll still be sitting here doing nothing when Armageddon begins! There are things in Scripture that are going to happen, are going to take place, regardless of what we post and warn about on social media or from the bema and pulpit. The choice we have, and I believe, is what sets the Other 1 Percent apart, is the decision to stop depending upon government and world solutions, without actually dropping out . . . I'm not opposed to becoming self sufficient and off the grid, etc., but it isn't the first necessary step.

The first step is to realize our Creator, YHWH, really does know what we have need of. He also clearly defines the difference between NEED and GREED, and He expects us to the same. Our Creator is efficient and waste offends Him. He doesn't like provision wasted, He doesn't like sustenance wasted, and He clearly doesn't like talents to go unused. Y'hshuwah's parable indicated everyone gets at least one talent, and the Psalmist says the righteous will not beg. I realize in our society, that definition of begging is open to interpretation, but suffice it to say, most of us could do with less than we have.

The next step is to see what our Creator has promised in His Word and what He expects from us. For instance, and I'll probably address this further in Holy Homesteading, but for me to trust YWHW for rain for the garden, in it's season, I need to be obedient to His Word, and I need to get the seeds in the ground in the proper season, as well. I'm not as interested in saving money as I am in harvesting seeds. I'm not so concerned about currency as I am about barter potential. Money is only a tool to obtain something I cannot grow or make. I'm thinking that is the fundamental difference between The One Percent, The 98%, and the Other 1%.
