We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 

1 John 4:6

 

Ever have one of those days where you feel like you’re “spinning your wheels” and not getting any traction in communicating or finding understanding in a situation?  Don’t feel alarmed, it happens to the best of us. Some more frequently than others. I’m probably in the huge majority of seeing those “spinning their wheels” on a daily basis.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round…” 

There are things in life that may frustrate the average person, and so that can be called ” a wheel spinning wheel event” where you just can’t make sense of something, and it then becomes an exercise in futility.

The only thing that ever truly makes sense to me is God and His Word.  It is the one true constant that resonates within my soul. It’s the one true aspect of what I define as “life.”

His unwavering truth, and love echo throughout the world. It’s everywhere. You can find it if you only take the time to look. And yet, sadly enough there are some that really don’t see it at all.

These individuals might gather in circles of naysayers, that perpetuate negativity and point out with delight, those they don’t agree with. They may laugh at those who know and love God and have hope. They point fingers and mock “Bible Thumpers.”  (Matthew 5:11-12) Jesus tells us to be exceedingly when this happens.

They engage in endless debates trying to prove “why there isn’t any God” to serve and justify their own agendas.  They go through endless parades of defying who God is, and what God will always be—Our Divine Creator of the Universe—a Father who loves us and gave His only begotten Son for us, so that we might live forever with Him. (John 3:16)

These people are perhaps the “wheel spinners” of society. Because truly they will never gain traction with their vicious comments meant to humiliate and discredit those who have faith.  Their wheels will superficially “spin round and round, and round again.” Never trusting or putting any credence into those who have God in their hearts. Nor will they ever sway or move those who are entrenched in God’s Word and believe in Him alone. (Romans 8:35-39)

 

“Father, may I always be filled with Your wisdom, guidance and ability to do all according to Your will and purpose, may I be an example of Your Word and Truth in all I do, and may I deflect from the naysayers, and wheel turners of this world, as I devote myself to You and Your exclusively, now and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*“The Wheels on the Bus” is an American folk song written by Verna Hills (1898–1990).
