Therapy for Brain Oppression
Verse for Today: Saturday, November 27, 2010
Psalms 73:16 & 17a - When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me till I entered the sanctuary of God.
When we are confronted with serious concerns, issues and problems, and when we are puzzled, we often consult our human faculties, experience and the modern problem solving experts. But these are often oppressive, because almost any solution in a given situation has a lot of give and take to it. Taking is often like a bitter pill and not the most desirable thing for us, but we compromise. Giving on the other hand is a great sacrifice which we take with a lot of hesitation. So we go for the best scenario of least cost and maximum benefit to us. This process is most oppressive and gives us a lot of stress and often puts us into serious apprehensions. It took some time of brain oppression for the Psalmist when he thought about what would happen to those who reject God, and then he realized that there was another source which will give him the best answer to all his queries and concerns. He realized that he could go to the presence of his Heavenly Father to get all the answers. The Lord's presence is always open and there is a loving invitation to go there at any time and dwell there under the shadow of the Almighty for His wise counsel. The Lord is there to always listen to our queries and give us His mind about all matters of concern through His Spirit and on the basis of His written Word. His answers are perfect and His thoughts are flawless. He has the right answer for all our concerns and problems and solves all our puzzles. His counsel is free because Jesus paid for it all on the cross of Calvary. It is our prerogative to go to Him any time and all the time, and get His response rather than waste our time and energy for consulting with the forces in this world. If we don't go to God for answers, we are the losers, but He also misses the opportunity to glorify His name through us. Had Jesus not been consulted, there would have been no new wine at Cana and there would have been disgrace and loss of dignity in the banquet hall. This opportunity is available for us today to go to the presence of the Almighty for answers to our puzzles.
Dear friend, when puzzled with questions about your own problems and issues around you, do you automatically go to the Lord with your questions or are you habituated to consult the intelligent and experienced sources of the world? If so, you would go into the paths of brain oppression which will result in confusion and chaos, and bound to give answers which are on the basis of human wisdom. But if you go to the presence of the Lord, there is answer to any puzzling situation. His Word is the starting point for any science that the world has developed. Most modern scientific inventions are based on the insights given in the Bible in archeology, architecture, biology, physics, management, medicine and discoveries like energy, petrochemicals and even war strategy. Scientists, sociologists and politicians often consult the Bible for insights on issues they are confronted with. They may not understand the spiritual implications of all of this, but the privilege to understand the spiritual side of issues is given to us who have the Holy Spirit indwelling in us as our great teacher and guide. So when we have questions about the world, the Universe or any of the pressing problems of the world, or any matter in our personal lives, let us go to the presence of the Lord and inquire into His mind in prayer, meditation of His Word and the teachings received from the servants of God. It is accurate, transparent and easily understood. Once we get our minds clear on the puzzling issues that we encounter, it is our responsibility to respond to it according to the will of the Lord. Today let us go to the Lord with all our questions and find answers from Him. Let us not allow the world's wisdom to confuse or sidetrack us, and be focused on the perfect will of the Lord. Let the Lord lead us and guide us to live a life without confusion, and enable us to give total allegiance to all that He reveals to us day by day to guide our lives on His pathway with His perfect peace.
Psalms 119:130 - The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
Thought for Today
God's Word in His presence opens our eyes of understanding and throws light to remove confusions created by the enemy on our pathways.
