"Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame." -I Corinthians 15:34 (NIV)
I have often hear the lament that "common sense" isn't so common. As Voltaire said, "Common sense is not so common." While we may think common sense is lacking, we may just be ignoring the sense we have been given. We need to return to our senses!
God has given us His Word that is full of lessons. He has also given us His Son as a sacrifice for our sin and the Holy Spirit as our guide. We need to keep our focus on God and these gifts that He has given us. When we focus on Him, we can be reminded to return the our senses, the sense that He provides, in order to avoid the shame of sin!
Return to the sense that God has given and make every effort to stop sinning!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the lessons that You provide. Help me to return to my senses and to stop sinning. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
