We are an industrious sort. Furthermore, we place strong emphasis upon education. I balk at neither. There isn't a stray day that passes by that I personally couldn't use more of both.
There is, however, a need to serve warning to the possessors of these traits. We must not let our brain-power go to our heads as if we are the owners and operators of such an intricate fleshly mechanism. Many with brain and brawn have ventured into lands trying to save ourselves for ourselves by ourselves.
This is futile.
We are to use the brains God gave us is a double-edged sword of sorts. Yes, we are to be grand thinkers for God surely has dubbed us as special above all other animals. No, we are not to take our ability to reason and make an idol out of it.
God gave us brains to function in elite worship of service to Him. With these interactive waves of thought, plan, and dream, we are to shift from earthly wisdom to heavenly. We are to use our brains alright; but in a way that would respond to faith and not to sight.
Man has become enamored with ourselves; our talents, our skills, and our ability to reason. When this happens self-impressiveness moves from the shadows and begins to demand recognition. At such moments, God's supply and energy take a back-seat to our infatuation with our infatuation.
Man collectively at our smartest moments over the centuries is never as smart as God. We learn constantly and the more we do, the larger and more expansive He is. We will not corner God with arms of strength or brains of power. No, only God has the way. He sent Jesus to earth to baffle all of our self-charms.
And....we are still baffled. May our brain-power enjoy such a treasured and honorable truth that we will never calculate the intricacies of an average day....for God has tediously designed them all.
