Having not blogged for awhile, it is in effect a case of not having much to blog about, and nothing that exactly can lend itself into the vocabulary that is available to me. Now, seemingly realizing that I have gone against the flicking compass for so long, it is true to form that a compass will always point north. In this case, north is analogous to the direction which the master points in. And, almost as an inbuilt innate thing, the swing of the compass leaves the absence of complete peace and satisfaction until such time that the direction headed is the same as that which is called on by the master, that which is called upon by the plans and directions of the one who knows so well. And so, in coming back and swinging around, I am eager to see where it is next that I am headed. It will be most interesting to see how the consolidation of all that rests on my heart will come about.

For now, it is satisfactory and best to hold onto, with a bit of application to modern-day 2008:

10 This is what the LORD says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. [b] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

Isaiah 29:10-14
