“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; June 30, 2008

                                     

           While Horace Greely is credited with saying, “Common sense is uncommon”; for the most part, we value common sense.  In most aspects of our lives, common sense is a virtue that should be pursued and developed.  Most of us will be better off if we can just breed some good old fashioned horse sense.

         Even though common sense is an attribute in most elements of life, one place where it can get us into trouble is in Christianity.  You see, Christian discipleship is not based upon mortal wisdom, it’s value is found in godly obedience.  Our bottom line shouldn’t be based on what makes sense, it must be determined by following what God has commanded.  The key isn’t rationale, it’s righteousness.        

         Let’s seek to be wise; but, more importantly, let’s be submissive.  Let’s think things out when we can; but, let’s learn to trust in God, even when He doesn’t make (common) sense.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
