For our nature walk today; we will concern ourselves with an elusive and rare creature, The Truth. Although it’s habitat is being destroyed and polluted, it can still be found, but experts are divided on just how much longer that Truth will be able to survive in the wild. Many are advocating for the removal of Truth from the endangered list, due to the high cost of preserving it for future generations. Oh, we will still have pictures and sound snippets of Truth, but it may soon be; all but gone, and become, a fading memory. Even now as Truth is quickly decreasing, and the increase of The Lies is growing exponentially. Since Lies are the favored food of The Truth and as Truth is becoming more and more scarce, we will soon be overrun with Lies. They will be in our land, our houses, our beds, even in the very food we must eat every day.
As we take a closer look at some of these Lies (careful, they are very ravenous, and when cornered, will eat anyone that gets within their reach). One, we will call Penny-Bits, a deceptively small creature, who’s only food is the physical Money, (something you can hold in your hand, and you alone have control as to where you spend it, as a means of commerce, trade; and the exchange for goods and services. Another creature with symbiotic ties to Penny-Bits, is the multi tentacled beast; we will call Genny, which can be clearly identified by the five bands on each tentacle (each band broader than the last).
We find this destructive duo; left unchecked, a fact of life today, running loose in our nation. Genny with it’s tentacles going into every unguarded portal; looking for Money. Once any Money is discovered; Genny quickly sends a coded signal to Penny-Bits. Then the attack; quick and merciless, the Money is hollowed out; leaving only a lifeless shell. Oh, at first look you might think Money is still alive, but that’s part of the deception (so as not to alarm the rest of the herd). Of course some of the Money is fed to Genny, so it can continue the to extend it’s unblinking surveillance, into an ever increasing coverage area, ceaselessly looking for new ways to find Money.
Oh, if only Truth had been cared for and it’s habitat kept healthy, then it could have eaten these Lies before they grew beyond the reach of our hands.
Nothing new under the Sun.
Luke 20:19-20 The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people. 20 So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
Psalm 128; 1-2
1Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
2You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
