Sometimes it is wise to slow down before you speed
up. This gives you ample opportunity to
look at the course ahead and decide on where you will require additional
resources to overcome unforeseen obstacles.
In the nation of Ethiopia the people can’t stand erect to
salute the flag of dictatorship because their ribs are stretched against their
parched skin, forcing them to stoop as they walk. In Pakistan and other developing countries,
the brutality of the police and the corruption of the officials and the selective
screaming of the media make college graduates go astray. The children in the new Indonesia, who pick
up the pieces of their future from the charred remains of a burnt revolution,
have very little hope for tomorrow. The
drought in Rwanda and the practice of infanticide in China cast chilled breaths
of despondency on Gods people.
The new
generation in America has so little to offer that we call them “Generation X”,
a nomenclature deserving of their choice in music, disgust for authority,
rebellion against decency, and appearance and language that would openly mock
the founders of America.
I would rather be a downtrodden member of a free
community than a kind without hope. John
Maxwell says, “if there is hope in the future, there is power in the present”.
Let us take the power, amplify the surge of human ingenuity, propel it with
enthusiasm, and we will have an unstoppable force that will free us from what is
called,” stinking thinking”.
The life each of us lives is the life within the limits
of our own thinking. To have life more abundant, we must think in the limitless
terms of abundance.
