“Stay Away from the Bear!”

I like the story of the hunter and the bear that were both in need. The hunter was cold and desired a fur coat and the bear was in need of a meal. Through the art and skill of negotiation both got what they wanted, the hunter got his fur coat and the bear got his meal simultaneously.

While it might seem like a stretch to use that illustration it really is a very accurate description of the world we live in. People want the quick fix, don’t want to wait for anything and the days of our nations’ leaders being resolute and staying the course has given way to the wind blowing and changing the course of entire nations in moments.

Nations today are bankrupt after the quick fixes to jump start the economy, and entire industries have collapsed trying the same thing and despot leaders now flourish as negotiations only delay the inevitable wars.

The Apostle Paul wrote when men would cry peace and safety sudden destruction would come like birth pangs of a woman in labor, we are seeing that today.

As a Christian don’t sell yourself short, be faithful to the faithful God and above all stay away from the bear!
