Imagine you are a lone voice of integrity trying to be heard above a maelstrom of complacency and wrong. You step forward as a tiny speck in the midst of the howling gale of the world and you shout and the wind grabs your words and muffles them in an instant. What does it take to be heard? It seems futile to think one voice can overpower a storm, yet, imagine if a few people hear and join in and start to shout together in unison. Imagine if the lone voice grows to becomes a gale blustering from the opposing side and overpowering the prevailing trend. Change for good may happen, but it does not happen on its own. It takes individuals working together to form one voice.
"Blessed
is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in
the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night.
He
will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth
its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he
does shall prosper.
The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish." (Psalm 1 WEB )
