The Metronome of Life

This post is about my insight I received into solving the mystery of life’s issues and understanding the balance of life.  The thought came to me that contrasting opposites, like black and white, are uniquely different from each other.  You need one to appreciate the other.  






The result is the pendulum keeps on moving back and forth -- cause and affect.  As I understand it, a pendulum uses gravity to transfer potential energy to kinetic energy and back again.  When the pendulum reaches the bottom of its swing, it presses a small lever that causes it to click. The pendulum swings and keeps balance to life...everything happens for a reason. 

Gravity vs Zero-Gravity

Giving vs Receiving

Loss vs Gain

Life vs Death

Balance vs Imbalance thrown out of equilibrium

Signs

Well it has been confirmed. Spring is here! We are in the midst of it. The birds are building their nests. My tulips are coming up, several are 6 - 8 inches out of the ground already. It is only a matter of time before they will be blooming. I've even heard the sound of lawnmowers around the neighborhood and have witnessed raking of the yards. Therefore the signs of Spring is certain.

True, we might have a day where the weather gets colder and we could still have a light snowfall, but even with that chance, we know that Winter is past. The season has changed.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything...to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

It is very clearly evident if you look at the signs of the times, that our Lord's coming is drawing near. The birth pains and the signs of the times should motivate all of us who call ourselves "Christian" to sit up and take notice, to stand up and be counted, to no longer shut up but to share God's sacrificial love to as many as we can in the time that we have left. The King is returning! Very Soon He Will Arrive.
