The Threshing Floor-September 23, 2009-Randy Maugans
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”-John 16:33
All around us, now, people are in turmoil and trouble….even ‘tribulation’. There are divisions, decisions, and the rebounds of choices made…both wise and foolish. The culture is torn asunder by generation wars…the nation is on the cusp of decision.
Yet we are not without solace…we have the examples of the saints before us, and the pattern of the Messiah to sustain us in chaos and sorrow. The word is: “mind your head. Mind your Head….for the Head of every man is Christ.”

“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;”-”If” by Rudyard Kipling
