Daily Wisdom

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage.” Gal 4:9

To simply desire a solution to your problem without interest in the answer to your problem, is like continuing to fill a tire with air and wonder why it’s always going flat. You cannot solve your problems with the same level of thinking that created them.  It’s your personal thinking that leads you into sin which requires a solution for redemption, which is in Christ. Yet, while your sin leads you to Jesus as a solution, why would you then not depend on Him for your answer to sin and avoid the bondage that hinders you from living in your inheritance (vs 7)? Too many Christians approach Christ as a problem fixer, not a problem solver. Not desiring to change their thinking; only to get their spiritual tire filled that’s constantly leaking. Sometimes God allows us to get into a situation, like a tire that finally blows from continual neglect, and that now requires a permanent answer not a temporal fix; so we’ll discover He is the only one who has the answer to our problem.  

True Christianity contradicts sense, it requires you to give up the visible (temporal) for the invisible (eternal) truth in Jesus (2 Cor 4:18).
