Common Sense

Don’t give up now!!! I know readings like today’s are hard to make it through. They don’t have much to do with the way our society operates today, and seem to have little application to our lives. However everything in God’s word is useful so read it and soak it up. Don’t quit, don’t stop, try not to skip a day. If you fall behind jump back in and pick up on today’s date. You can do this!! For me the main thing I thought as I read today’s reading was “WOW this is common sense.” So much of God’s law is just good common sense. Yes they are rules, but they are not pointless rules, they make good sense. They are based on fairness, equality, and maintaining peace and order in society. These are all things we should do anyway but we often don’t. Why? Because of greed, selfishness, and individualism. Those things and others naturally overtake common sense in the sinful world we live in. If you have been opposed to God’s laws for any reason in the past I hope you can see that they are laws of common sense. They are for your benefit and societies as a whole. Before you get lost in the rules and laws, step back and notice that they are all based on common sense.
