If you get a penny for a thought, then sense would cost you hundreds of dollars. It is the commodity the human race haggles for, but often settles for much less dividend.
There are three types of sense: ultimate sense, common sense and human sense.
For the sake of simplicity, let me explain that ultimate sense is, “I’ve got God’s brain.”
Common sense could be defined as, “I’ve got a good brain.”
And human sense, plainly stated, is, “I’ve got my brain.”
None of us have ultimate sense. There are inklings in ancient writings that someday, once we have surrendered to death, all knowledge will be transfused into our eternal spirit. But I secretly believe that the Creator of the Universe will probably hold back a few details for Himself.
Now, common sense is that basic 25 things we learn before the age of five which continue in our adult life if we trust them and pursue them. They make us happy people.
For instance, don’t stick your finger into a light socket (pictured above). Being nice to people, generally speaking, makes them be nice to you. Don’t stick a Q-tip too deeply into your ear. Water boils at 212 degrees, but don’t thrust your hand into it. If you want to be around people, set up a respectable shower schedule.
It is not only common–it is understandable. Most of the difficulty that befalls us is from rejecting common sense. Is it rebellion? Is it stupidity? Is it forgetfulness?
No. It’s when we get overtaken by human sense.
Human sense is that selfish notion that we are unique and require our own set of rules. This makes us ask three ridiculous questions:
- What do I lack?
- How unfair is this?
- Why doesn’t anyone care?
So long before we can get answers, we have to be ministered to and healed of these nasty insecurities which trap us into human sense and deny common sense.
Truthfully, if you want to have a revival in your church, just take three or four months to journey your congregation on returning to common sense, ignoring the selfishness of human sense, which fails to recognize other people or the power of universal principles.
The good news is that God, with ultimate sense, sent Jesus to teach common sense to try to awaken us from our human sense of doom and gloom.
The better news is that if you can awaken the common sense in people again, they begin to believe that God is a possibility instead of a myth.
