The
thinking that one creates his own reality is a lie. We are instructed in the
book of Proverbs not to lean on our own understanding and to trust in the Lord.
The truth is we are either going to acknowledge God's way or we not.
We don’t
just acknowledge God. We acknowledge God the way He wants us to. We must go
beyond the edge of our own thinking into the mystery of God. Where is that
mystery found? It is found in the blood.
Through
the blood of Christ we understand God's mercy and power. Why blood? Do the
math. It has to do with the history of God and man found in scripture. Yes! We
must look beyond ourselves to God’s revelation.
To
improve our life does not require us to do more thinking. The truth is we do
not create our reality. All things are created by God. Jesus Christ said “I am
the way the truth and the life”. We do not create “the
way”
Jesus is
a person that changed our life by giving us His. Don't be fooled by this evil
world. It is not thought that changes our lives. Secular psychology has taken
that notion just a bit too far.
It is
Jesus Christ and His work that changes our life. We respond to the reality of
His shed blood and resurrection with acknowledgement.
Knowledge is the result of the reality. Reality is NOT the result of knowledge.
We may
create our own experience but that does not necessarily mean that it is
reality. The truth is that the closer we get to God's perspective of ourselves,
God's perspective of others, and God's perspective of
this world the closer we are to reality. We need to get
outside of our own heads.
Satan is real but his whole world
is built on a lie. The lie he created for himself was that He
could create his own reality. That’s pride. Pride comes before
a fall. Satan is going down!
