When it comes to Sustainable Living, in America
it is nearly impossible to achieve. In the Bible, (as well as isolated, remote areas of the earth today), we see people living
together in community. Multiple generations of multiple families living together, going through life, accomplishing far more
as a group then the sum of the individuals working alone could ever begin to accomplish; synergism.
Generally speaking; when you’re young you don’t know what your
supposed to do and, if you do know what you’re supposed to do, you don’t know how to do it. And when you are older
you no longer have the energy to do what you can plainly see needs to be accomplished. This is why Yahweh God designed us
to live in community; so that we can help each other.
In
America, this is completely contrary to the way we have been conditioned. Here, as in much of the world, we are taught that
the accepted way to live life is alone, independent, “doing your own thing”.
But this is the way of the devil; divide and conquer. If you really want to practice Sustainable
Living; align yourself with a community of people of which you can work together in Biblical fashion as Yahweh God designed
us to be. He is the Master designer, Architect, Engineer and Creator. When we follow His instructions we find that life is
much easier.
I’ll see you out in the field,
