Don't think, just follow God

Tonight I was running the water in the bathtub and my four-year-old came in and announced it would be her last bath because she had just grabbed the last pair of clean underwear from her closet to put on after her bath. Sounds reasonable right? No more underwear, no more baths.
We, in our sinfulness, seem to come up with some very reasonable ideas, too. The disciples came to Jesus trying to figure out the reasonable amount of times to forgive a person. Was once enough, two for good measure, then oh well, they had their chance? Ah, but Jesus said seventy times seven. In other words, just don't keep track. We think we don't have time to help out at church or all those other good causes, but Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will fall into place. I can't tell you how often I've found that to be true. We think we don't make enough money to give anything to church, but God says, give me my portion and you won't be able to handle the blessings I give you. When a friend or co-worker cuts you down, talks behind your back, or makes false assumptions about you, it seems reasonable to do the same back. But Jesus says to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Blessings come when you do things God's way. Get in the Word and get it in your head, or your mind will be too polluted with sin. Forget reason, just follow God.
