Today’s Thought “Transfixed In Mysticism” G. Ward

“Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.” Daniel 4:7

Here is the chorus to a most popular song, HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS; Have a little talk with Jesus! Tell him all about our troubles! Hear our fainted cry, answer by and by! Feel a little prayer wheel turning; know a little fire is burning! Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right!

On the other hand, a vain tradition of someone speaking into your life has become the very sign believers and potential believers await. New Testament believer-ship abhors awaiting a sign unto belief (cf. Mt.12:39, Jn.20:25-29). A more pragmatic thought is why entertain and most importantly, why is it necessary and astonishing to hear someone recite to me those many issues plaguing me to which I’m already aware of? What’s the benefit? So what, another individual knows my business? What then is so unusual about the lives of any earthly vessel (cf. Eccl. 1:1-8)? We’ve been and continue to be entirely predictable! Our wants are insatiably driven, while being entirely narcissistic (cf. 2 Ti.3:2-4)! Many are quick to tell us we can’t love correctly until we first love ourselves; while Holy God is demanding we die unto ourselves, hate the world and love HIM implicitly! Yeah Greg, we hear you, but we’re going to await another soothsayer to speak a word vs. searching (diligently so) for individual truth found in God’s word (Ro. 10:8, 2 Ti. 2:15). All that you’re sharing is too much work…

Happy Tuesday!
