Idiocraty On The Third Rock From The Sun

You know I was thinking, most people on this planet are inherently stupid. It's nothing to be ashamed about, it's just a simple fact that we have to learn to not be stupid (or at least less stupid). When we first come out of the womb I believe that two thoughts come into our heads, "I'm Cold" and "I'm Hungry". Those are the only two things we know! Were not even smart enough to know how to fix the problem. Hopefully we are born to parents who do! We can't fend for ourselves, we can't clean ourselves up, we can't move from place to place without someone else who is just a little smarter then us helping us out. There's another thing, we are constantly looking for people who are smarter then we are to help guide us throughout our lives. In some cases that's not hard to find, but when we are trying to answer some of the real tough questions, it becomes quite difficult to figure things out.
The same things hold true spiritually. When we first accept Jesus into our hearts we only know two things, "I'm Cold" and "I'm Hungry". We need someone to take care of us for awhile just to help us survive. We aren't able to fend for ourselves, we can't clean ourselves up, we can't even move from place to place without someone else who is just a little smarter then us helping us out. The difference here is that as a physical baby, we don't have a problem accepting the help we need. Really we don't have a choice! Spiritually however, we are "delivered" with a lot more baggage. Pride and personal preferences come into play and we have a hard time admitting how "STUPID" we are. The words "I need your help" and "I don't understand" are difficult but necessary phrases for the Christian, no matter what age you are. Where are you at in your walk today? Do you have brothers and sisters around you who are just a little "smarter" then you? Do you have brothers and sisters around you who look at you as just a little "smarter" then them? If not, why not? Life is a team sport not a one person decathlon! Know your strengths, admit your weaknesses and love like there is no tomorrow! "Be still and know that HE is God"! Touch someone life and be blessed today.
