USE THE COMMMON SENSE GOD GAVE YOU

Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind? Job 38:36.... What is common sense really? If we think of it in terms of public knowledge or universal opinion, we’d better be careful. Although many platitudes are rooted in Scripture and therefore sound enough to build a marriage on, there are a lot of “truisms” out there that aren’t rooted in Scripture and will cause a marriage to crumble and fall. 1 Corinthians 3:19 says, “The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.” So perhaps we’d better rework our definition. The good sense we all have in common is, first, the truth God has revealed to humankind in the bible and through His Son, Jesus Christ. Second, this good sense is the wisdom that God freely offers, relating to specific situations, if only we ask Him for it. Third, the God-given ability to reason with our minds and make wise choices based on truth and wisdom He has provided us is also part of our good sense. The Lord has made this type of common sense available to us all- It’s time we thank Him for it and honor Him by using it! Today is the perfect day to put into practice in your marriage!
