“It’s a sure thing.” This is a phrase that often
makes me chuckle for all the times I have
heard it used in business, only to discover
it was anything but a “sure thing.” We human
beings are created to be innately suspicious,
it is the quality most likely to have ensured
our continued existence. A sure thing is what
we least expect, and the use of it often makes us
think of the mountebank preparing to fleece us.
So here I come like a spiritual sophist with
a new take on the sure thing – let us call
it surety – the state or quality of being sure –
certainty – which is the very underpinning
of faith. With our list of well-honed intentions,
spiritual or secular, we need to be able to fully
envision our desired outcomes, believing, with
surety of their intended success. I offer
the brief poem below, aptly titled Surety,
to assist all of us with the mental strength
training of our sense of surety: thus creating
our own sure thing.
SURETY
The future is carved
from well-honed intention –
clarity of vision is fundamental,
determining the scope and depth
of each reverberating stroke against
a fertile now, once chiseled,
all is beyond repair or reversal.
Know the truth lies
within the vision first framed
and outlined - then crafted,
propelled by the belief,
the surety of intended outcomes,
the awareness of God’ s intercession,
delicate but determined.
