Job 8:11 -Can the Rush grow up with out mire

Chameleons – most chameleons change from brown to green & back, but some can turn almost any color.  A change can occur in as little as 20 seconds.

Why am I comparing Rush to Chameleons because in my readings the thought occurred to me that am I a Chameleon that can change colors to each situation I am in.     I don’t think so now, but in my growing years, acceptance was important & I did change colors when the situation arose.  I think young adults have a tendency to want to be loved, accepted & be a part of the flow.  I think ISIS uses issues as such to brainwash their followers which can & will cause destructive behavior.  Charles Spurgeon in one of his meditation wrote “the rush cannot grow without mire, but plants of the Lord’s right hand planting can & do flourish even in the year of drought.  He who follow Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves & fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend him out of love to himself are his own beloved ones.  Lord let me find my life in thee, & not in the mire of this world’s favor or gain”.

my prayer for me is Jesus help me to be me….the person you created me to be. To stand for truth & not waver when the wind moves in another direction.  Rush is spongy & hollow so is the hypocrite/chameleon- there is no substance or stability in him.  The rush by nature lives in water & owes its very existence to the mire & moisture wherein it has taken root; but let the mire become dry, & the rush withers very quickly.  It’s greenness is absolutely dependent upon circumstances.  Is this my case?  Do I only serve God when I am in good company, or when my faith is profitable & respectable?  I do not wish that to be me.  Your word says in 2 Cor 12:10….. “when I am weak, you are strong” – There is a saying that goes “You’ve got to stand for something, or you will fall for anything”.  A good motto is, “I shall not be moved, I shall stand in your strength”.
