God is in Heaven

The last couple of months have been explicitly interesting to me. Most of time seems to have slipped by nearly unnoticed and totally unstudied. More often than not, I claim to be an intellectual who analyzes and ponders simplicity, but as of late, I am far from being an intellectual. I have simply been living moment by minute, minute by day. Desire to sit back and look at this complicated web of life has been growing in the recesses of my mind and yet, life at its continual fullest seems to constantly bother the habits of the mind.
One who claims intellect would also be the one that hates to admit to depending on inspiration. We pridefully like to think of every instance, every occasion as deep and meaningful. Inspiration has nothing to do with it, rather it is birthed from a constant frame of mind. However, when monotony sets life into play, action must be taken- sometimes subconsciously. Inspiration is a dire requirement. And so... inspiration. A coffee house with scholastic friends is perfect. A low movement of noise in the background and plenty of people to observe objectively. And with inspiration comes introspection on life of the last few months. And so a completed circling back to the start of the post...
"God is in heaven and all is right on earth." A nice summary of the cycle of life. Not just now, when things are simple and pleasant, but now and always. Even in the eye of the storm. Even in the sight of loneliness. Even in the wake of desolution. Because God IS in heaven and all IS right on earth. It may not seem to be so with the decline of morals and all that is good, but what we intend for destruction, He consequently works for the best of His desperately dependent children. We seem to be, or rather are, wallowing in the chaos of heart and the outside world, but He is not of this world. Rather, He is the Roaring Lion and the Meek Lamb. Come to save. Come to conquer. We have already won, we have already prevailed- there is none to fear. For He has crushed our fears with His spirit of love and mercy. He is the great I AM. And in that light, He IS. None will ever be like He is, never even come close. His bloodied hands have already caressed the hearts of His people. We are stained in His salvation and because of this, because of Him on His throne, all can be right on earth.
