Pillar one, recalled and replaced...
2 - 28 - 19
Wisdom - wisdom, destroy or rebuild - knowledge borne
Peace family. It's been a while since we connected. In the meantime, it has occurred to me, via cipher with the Queen Azzurah-El, that one of our pillars needs to be modified. Those of you who have been with us since hustlenomikz 240, the course that started it all, will recognize that our pillars: luck, love, scale, discipline, and shrinkage, have served us well. We built out favorably on focus, we took lab exercises to the max, we shared questions about The Answer, we humbly helped formulate the University of Jam curriculum...but we never would have made it anywhere without God's grace. And so we see that grace, stepping in for luck, is the established principle on which to build our entire portfolio. Why grace, and not luck? Grace, or favor, holds our God in an esteemable, justified, holy position, and holds our holonistic appreciation and devotion in an equally amplified manner. It manifests the appreciable goodness of God and his incomparable favor in all areas of our lives...if we dare thank God for everything (the good, the bad, and the ugly), we recognize his leadership and prepare our steps to follow in the path which He has set us on. Luck does no such thing; it is thankless, routeless, directionless, and impossible to duplicate. And so it flies in the face of scale, which depends on duplicity, sells out to shrinkage, where entropy and loss lie wait for unsuspecting maneuvers and sits idly in the face of discipline, which can't even produce without recognition of luck. Grace, on the other hand, is a foundation of dessert, even when the appetizer hasn't been served; somewhere to handily place faith of our next meal - for the appreciable congregation, grace is the simple, courteous, personal, and profound passport to the best of a hustler's destination. Give me grace over luck any day. Give me grace over luck today. Give me grace combined with luck, and we have an opportunity to do the unthinkable.
What the hustler needs to absorb is a healthy dose of God's grace so that he and she can produce at high levels without even worrying about it, thinking too much about it, or working too hard for it. Work smarter, not harder, right? The catch is that we can't idly expect grace: for it is given, not earned. That's why it's a next-tier pillar: only with the recognition of where power lies, where power dictates, and where "we" wield power, will God's grace be directed. Wisdom, and disciplined responsibility is a fundamental dictum of grace. Responsible hustle...with several bottom lines and operators. Fortunately, we are building on a gospel and a movement that is ripe with and for grace - After shaking up the world, calming the storm, overcoming temptation, healing all types of disease, and fully empowering his disciples, Jesus said "Greater than this shall you do in my name for I go to be with the Father...." but are we allowing God enough room to operate? Do we wait gracefully for His word to come to pass, or are we that woeful and untoward, entitled generation that seeks sign after sign. Are we earning a plus degree on our lessons, daily, routinely, religiously? Or are we settling for safety requests? Why don't we give Him the biggest problems and take care of the little stuff ourselves with His grace? Until. Why don't our ministries build congruently as they could? Why are we so distracted? nervous? guilt-ridden? ashamed? why don't we stay in the Word until we merely can't anymore, building our endurance and faith at the same time? What are our defaults? Do we expect to overcome, knowing that we have an adversary to contend with, a system to navigate, fears to defeat, let alone the unknown....
