I have to post again
Did you notice in the quote from Linda’s post that she talked about Joy and Peace regarding how to change what is happening around and within us? The so called “natural tendency” would be to worry, sorrow, and anger because of what is happening on the Gulf. However, it is time to ask, does worrying, sorrowing, and angering solve anything? Would 6 billion people doing this, change anything for the better? The answer is a clear no. What such action does however, is feed the unrighteous – unholy. They get very happy when this happens. It allows them to feast and fill their reserves so to speak. This is to say, when we are tricked into worrying, angering, sorrowing, taking false responsibility and stressing about things, we become part of the problem because we are feeding those who are causing the problem in the first place.
So, one way to not play their game, is to choose Joy and Peace. It is to allow ourselves to remain focused on our walk with the Father and Know that Father is taking care of things. Of course, the unrighteous - unholy would tell us how “selfish” we are if we just go on with our lives without taking false responsibility and stressing about things. They will provide all this information about how disastrous things are and why we should worry about what is happening. They will constantly remind us it is “our” fault and that we should demand the unrighteous - unholy solve the problem. Why? Besides the fact that they feed on (negative) emotions, they know that if we the People stop playing their game and Properly see what is happening, then Father would be able to step in and take care of the situation.
This is to say, you want to be part of the solution and not the problem? Then you could choose Joy and Peace. You could Focus on your walk with Father and allow Father to do what is His do to. You could stop looking unto the unrighteous - unholy to solve the problem. Their answers never work, they just take the opportunity to make things worse, as BP did by using the dispersant it choose to use.
Are there other choices you can make to be part of the solution? Yes. One such choice would be to ask Father what good can come out of the Gulf situation. See Linda’s posting "Turn the tide" and my posting "A Refinement". When we ask Father for the Good than can come out of a situation, we give Him an Opportunity to turns things around.
As the song goes: don’t worry, be happy.
With a Light-Heart, focus on your walk with Father and that which is before you to do each and every day in His Plan. In this you may see all is in Divine Order.
