It
is amazing the difference each of us undergoes when we step from the world of
humanistic philosophy to the Mind of Christ.
Michael gives us what I consider to be a humoristic look at man’s mind,
then a clear perspective from the Spirit of truth…
DAY 84
Evolution
If you love
Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you
another counselor to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth. --John 14:15,16
Some argue that man is evolving
into a more sophisticated, superior creature. If so, why the necessity for all
of those door locks? Why is the security business thriving with projected
increased growth? When a
solution to society's ills is put forth, I always like to ask the question, “If
we follow your system of reform and enlightened thinking, will we all need
fewer keys in the future?” Once again time has rendered its verdict: We
need more locks now and will need more in the future. I saw a man holding a
sign on which was written, "Visualize world peace." I asked if he
would answer a question for me, and he agreed to do so. I asked, “How many
times have you been married?” “Three,” was his response. I pointed out that if
visualizing peace was not working in his personal life, it might be
presumptuous to think that it would work globally.
It would appear that man is not
evolving but revolving around and around what continues not to be the Way! Jesus is the
Way! Following
Him changes the world, the individual, and others. Following Him is Life indeed!

Reading Michael’s statement about “revolving around
and around what continues not to be the Way” reminded me of an old statement
used in my younger years…”you’re just going round and round the mulberry
bush.” Funny thing, I didn’t know what a
mulberry bush was, nor what they were talking about. Until…I grew older and began to see the
futility of “revolving around and around what continues not to be the
Way!”!!! Lol!
Thank God, He brought me into His realm of reality
and Truth (through the Spirit of truth, my Counselor), and began to show me
just how many ways that “Jesus is the Way!”. Aha, following Jesus does change everything in
this world, and in “the individual” (particularly me!), and in others. Well, amen and amen!!!
