Interpret this

Martin Luther made a point to say that there are not multiple interpretations for scripture. Rather there is but one interpretation, which has many applications. While originally I was opposed to this, with some thought, however, I find that I am inclined to agree with this statement. Often while I am meditating, I see cogs and gears. As though I am sitting within God's divine pocket watch.

If I liken a piece of scripture to one of the gears, Luther's statement makes sense. If I were to stand upon a giant gear, I could ride it around. As it turns according to its design, I can ride it up, I can ride it to the left, right, down, basically any direction I wish to go, with patience I can find myself in the position I wish to be. The gear, however, has its purpose and it is fulfilling it. It spins in the direction and at the speed that it was intended to do so. No amount of wishful thinking is going to speed it up, or make it change in its direction. It simply is what it is. I can make use of it accordingly, or I can step off and make my own way. Fighting against the motion of the gear will not gain you anything, but it may result in you being taken in a different direction than you wish, and possibly chewed up by the teeth, and weary to ever try and take the ride again. Watch the world around you, observe the patterns in nature, and if you need to ride the gear, or tube down the river, make sure its going in the direction you wish to go. Why hate the river for taking you downstream? *Edit* I missed my point in this. The gears spin regardless of what we think about it. The universe is bigger than human comprehension. Just because you think the gear is there to take you somewhere, doesn't mean that that is the case. The gear is there for the purposes that the watchmaker had in mind upon construction. Seldom do we understand the true intricacies of the watch that we are residing in.
