It's a mad-mad world...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... Clarity of thought and moments of inspiration are extremely difficult to come by in a world that's seemingly spinning out of control. It's been said that today's world is moving at the "speed of thought" which purports that if we can think it, we can do it. Sounds great until we find ourselves moving faster than our brains can think, leading us to decisions that we should never have contemplated making in the first place. But in those moments of inspiration, moments when we DO make good decisions and get it right, we should pause to acknowledge your hand in our lives; literally, your Spirit moving in our lives so we can make sense of this mad-mad world! Why is it important to acknowledge the Spirit? Romans 8:11 describes the power of Christ living in us, "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." I want, no, I NEED this clarity of thought in this mad-mad world… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
