.. I wandered unknowingly into a dangerous forest, I sat down and dozed off. Waking up, I noticed a tiger couched right next to me fast asleep. Bewildered, I packed up speedily and ran away from the forest without disturbing the tiger. At safe distance, from afar, I stood still to observe the forest and it was not just tigers roaming around, but every imaginable dangerous animal! I was truly in the den of wolves, yet my life was preserved! Sometimes we have no idea whatsoever, what **** we have our heads deep into, but He that keepeth and preserveth us neither sleep nor slumber. It is of His mercies that we are not consume. The battle is real, but the victory is assured. It is not by power or might but by the mercies of He that upholds us.
Yesterday, I made what I considered could possibly be some lousy decisions, I said some things that I am not sure were right. I sat to reflect, was that the best I could have done? Did I say the right thing? Was that wisdom? Is that the best that could come out of me? I wondered. Not everything I did yesterday was pleasing to me. I fell short of my assessment. But I have today, I always have today, I always have now and I can do well now, I can do better now, I can improve on what was said now, I can make better decisions. Yes now is good, today is better, I have a choice now. Yesterday is gone, I can’t reach it, tomorrow is not here either. But now is where I am, where I can be my possible best is now. Yesterday is irrelevant. There will always be a now!
Humans are a rare specie, I have come to discover. From time to time, you can swear on your life that a brother has your back. You laugh together, ate together, long walk together, just been there together, done it all together. You know him and he knows you, at least you think. But he ain’t got your nothing. He has flipped on you. Yes, he is tripping and you don’t even know. Judaes do exist and sometimes they are in our camp and that is just the way of man.
Told you! No rhyme or rhythm.
