In the Bubble

(Pro 8:32 KJV) Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

The context of this remark is creation and the march of history.  We are then reminded of how obedience makes us “blessed” (835).  I don’t know about you but I begin every day rejoicing in the creation.  I watch the day emerge from the darkness.  Some days are spectacular.  Some days are pure vanilla.  All of this show the variety and care that God has put into our world.  I often reflect on how awesome it will be when I have perfect vision and no infirmities.  

I am also living in a blessed time in history.  If you know anything about the advance of civilization you know we live in a bubble of progress and prosperity.  In America even the poor people live in luxury compared to history.  

So?  Rejoice if you are living in obedience.  The promise is there for you.
