Revolution

I've never understood it. I've always been a fighter. Not angry. Not looking to prove myself, or pick a fight. But inside. I've always felt like a warrior. Like I belong on the front lines. 

What's crazy to me, is that I still feel like I haven't gotten there. 

I've served. And submitted. My whole life, it's all I've done. It's all I know how to do. 

Not because I couldn't go do something revolutionary. Or because I didn't want to. Revolution is my heart. It's in my warrior blood. 

But I've never felt released to go do it.  

Because I think the thing about revolution is that it has to be released. I feel anointed for revolution. But I won't get there if I go before I'm released. 

King David was anointed to be the king of Israel while there was still another king on the throne. How interesting that must have been. We often think that since we're anointed, that means we possess it immediately. But sometimes you're anointed, and your time hasn't come. So your job then, is to wait. And serve. And submit. And be FAITHFUL. 

Because the truth is:

Revolution is not for the weak. 

Revolution is not for the lazy. 

Revolution is never about status. 

Revolution is never about popularity.

Revolution by definition is about a new system, a change of order. Or maybe it's about a shift of order. A reclaiming of order. A repossessing of order. 

Revolution is not a choice. Either you're called to it, and you'll do whatever it takes, or you're not and you won't. I know I'll do whatever it takes. 

And maybe I'm totally crazy. Maybe my time will never come. But I'll be ready for it, no matter what.
