Take A Dive
5" X 7"
This piece was created by my friend Marty Gordon. You can check out his website by following the Renzntzman link on My Favorite Links.
He knows I like to write and so he challenged me to write my impressions of some specific pieces of his work. "Take A Dive" is this first of these commentaries.
"Take a Dive"
This world, this life, does not make any sense to us. If God is a god of love, peace, order then why does He allow chaos and stupidity to, apparently, reign supreme in our lives?
People wander aimlessly, disconnected, haphazard, and without purpose. This affects all life- not just humankind.
What is the reason behind it all? Would it do me any good, God, "to appeal to your sense of reason?"
The fallacy here is in our own thinking. Of course this world is turned upside down. God left us in charge and we have royally wrecked things.
But it is in fact, only in releasing control and giving God back the reigns that any progress can be made in sorting out which end is up. Only God can choreograph our chaos. Only God can bring reason to our lives, but that wisdom is as foolishness to man.
So, is "Take a Dive" a look at the world without God in it? Or is it a look at followers of Christ through the eyes of the watching world? If so, we've not done a very good job of presenting the wisdom of God to the world – if all they see is bickering, unreasonableness, unpleasantness, and seclusion. What a shame!
