In a time when knowing your direction in life and what your "economic" prospects look like is invaluable, focus is key. The world is filled with varying voices and opposing opinions, making the issue of forward motion a difficult pursuit.
Many of the words the younger generation are told are simply aimless, leading to emptiness. Our government is the very evidence of this, as is our economy. The pursuit of happiness is evolving.
Just as in the time of the Judges, there were self appointed, self indulgent leaders, who would not recognize the time to step aside. But God in heaven was enacting a plan, unbeknownst to those who were control freaks, bankrupting the "economy" of the day.
"The boy Samuel served before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions." The truth was so infrequent, it was virtually non-existent. Without proper direction, the people didn't know what to do or how to do it. They were being robbed of their earnings because of corruption.
Receiving a word of value, one that touches your heart and speaks to your soul, is precious. Even though it may not fully be understood, you know when it happens..... we are breaking out. Our "economy" is going to be replenished.
March on.
