Prompted from the reflection of 5/1, Patrick muses about the trouble of our world and the only proven way of overcoming it.
Anxiety, fear, stress, insecurity etc., we hear these subjects discussed on radio, television, podcasts, and in latter years on demand through our phones. Some of us still read newspapers and magazines. We hear of or read about all sorts of remedies and therapies to cure or at least treat these ailments. Taking a well deserved break from the pressures of our modern day living, a trip away, a visit to a wellness centre etc. Down the ages, our human lives always had issues to contend with. It will never be any different. Ecclesiastes 1:9: “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
You describe very well Terence how you awakened to the truth, a truth you already knew. Like so many of us, in the confusion and stress of difficult situations, it is a truth we can overlook, but it’s an ever present eternal truth. Jesus said in John 8:31-32, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” and in John 14:6, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
