When the Spirit of the Lord began to minister to us about the significance of our mind-set, in staying “Above the Fray;” in the midst of all that is going on (in our world), the words of Rudyard Kipling came to mind:
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs … If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch, if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much ...” then you will become Christ's witness.
Solomon preached, Ponder the path of thy feet, turn not to the right ...nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. (aka “the counsel of the ungodly.”) [Prov 4:26-27; Ps 1:1]
note. There is a 'free zone' (in the mind) from “the yoke of bondage” to lying ideologies...that we might “escape the pollutions of the world thru the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.” [Gal 5:1; 2 Pet 2:20]
There, in that secret place (of His tabernacle), we will be able to “mount up (in our minds) with wings as eagles ...run and not be weary ...walk and not faint.”
ThenSingsMySoul:
LORD, LIFT US UP WHERE WE BELONG;
WHERE THE EAGLES FLY, ON A MOUNTAIN HIGH,
LORD LIFT US UP WHERE WE BELONG;
UP FROM THE WORLDS WE KNOW,
WHERE THE CLEAR WINDS BLOW.
