There are better times ahead. No doubt (or two ways) about it. I guarantee it. But there IS a catch. You knew there would be a catch. Right?
The better times ahead aren’t for everybody.
Nope. There will be miserable times for most people. But, for a few, there will be better times ahead. And better than they’ve ever known before.
And before you jump on my case because you think I’m talking about Heaven and hell, let me assure you, I’m not. Nope. The better times I’m talking about will happen right here on good ol’ planet Earth. Did I mention, I guarantee they’re gonna happen? Because they’re gonna happen.
Sure, you might be one of those old-fashioned types who think your best days, or America’s best days, are in the past. And, I suppose, that might be true for some. But those times won’t compare to what’s coming for a few people who play their cards cleverly.
For the sake of some common sense clarity, I think I’d better define the “better times” I’m referring to.
Or is it the better times to which I’m referring?
No matter. The point is, I’m talking about the people who will be flush with cash, property, and luxuries of all shapes and sizes. They’ll have access to every desire they could possibly desire. And they’ll have power and influence over all the losers who didn’t get in on the gold.
It’ll be like heaven on Earth.
Except it’ll be nothing at all like Heaven on Earth.
Because it’ll be a place filled with people who don’t realize they’ve already chosen a path of worldly gain. Only to (eventually) discover their soul will be separated from their body and spirit. And they won’t even recognize how their so-called “power and influence and control” won’t amount to a hill of refried beans.
OK, there’s a small chance I could be wrong. So, I’m not gonna bet you any money I’m right. Besides, I might not be here to pay off bets. And where I’ll be goin’ is too far to come back. Ever.
Anyway…
Just some veiled ideas and notions to roll around in your brain this fine Spring day in 2024. Till next time, ponder a few more rhyming ideas and notions…
Is there a day you go back to when you think of better times?
Or do you think that day is somewhere up ahead?
But either way it’s a day when all your cares will melt away,
And then your life will be fulfilling dreams instead.
Well, let me say, I’m for living with that hope inside your heart.
I do believe in looking for a better way.
But cares won’t go until you know your Creator loves you so.
That’s how the better times ahead begin today.
