Life Goes On

Life goes on, and on, day in, day out. 

In the momentum of life, we experience little more than hiccups that are times of great joy and mourning.  That is the big picture of life’s simplicity and where busyness offsets everything not fulfilling instant tangible needs.

There is more for our being to transcend than our obvious physical, emotional, and intellectual view of life.  Our life as spiritual beings does allow us to see and hear and feel what is not tangible—but of our spirit and of God’s Spirit.  Our mind can ignore, disregard what our spirit hears and yearns for.  This is how we ignore Jesus’ explanation of the future and His example of a previous event in humankind’s history. 

Jesus, warns us, that just as it was, “in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.
That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”  ~ Matthew 24:38-42

“Therefore” … we are warned by Jesus, it seems his words of kindness and love are ignored, He had to be blunt.   So, in our ho-hum day to day life, keep watch, listen in your spirit, listen to God’s Spirit calling you to him and he will be sending angles when He sounds the trumpet for the end of time as we know it.   

Life goes on, in a routine world. 
Life goes on, do you pause and listen for a trumpet and angles (messengers) of God?

If, if, you are attentive to God you will hear the trumpet and the wings of angels.

That is, unless your spiritual ears are only attentive to this world’s noise.

Listening for the trumpet’s everlasting song of joy,
