Would it surprise you to know God wants us to live at rest in this life. He doesn’t want us running around like chickens with our heads cut off working for Him. He is not impressed with our business.

How would you like to live in heaven now and not have to wait to die? Well, guess what?
You are already there on top of this messy, cruel world of lies and illusions.
How do I know? Get this…
“He has raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places...”

How can we avoid the destructive lies we tell ourselves?
How can we discern the deceptions of politicians and advertisers?
How can we detect false philosophies and fake news?
How can we grow to maturity in character?
The secret is listening to the the Spirit of Truth.

We live in a world of lies, illusions, appearances, and now, “fake news.”
Lies fueled by hate are being hurled at opponents to destroy them.
Illusions are created by leaders and authorities, to hide what is really going on.
Appearances are used to cover up incompetence and corruption.
It’s sickening and frustrating to hear the news today, because of the deception.

The most important thing about any of us is our philosophy. That’s right, our philosophy. Philosophy is not a bunch of Greek thinkers enshrined in statues. It is the glasses we look through to interpret the world around us. It is our world view. We all are philosophers.

Have a big laugh on me.

OK, so I worked out at the gym and stopped at the gas station. I filled up with gas, bought a car wash, drove to the meter, rolled down my automatic window, and punched in the code. As I drove into the wash I rolled up the window, but when the window hit the top it automatically went down half way. I tried again, up to the top and it came down half way. I could not get the window shut.

It was a quiet Sunday morning, and the Lord had a few reminders for me to ponder.

We tend to see God through our character, not through God’s character. Chambers writes, “God’s revelation of Himself to me is influenced by my character, not by God’s character It is because I am ordinary, Your ways often look ordinary to me.” (My Utmost for His Highest, Nov. 17)
