Common Sense..not on your life.

Now there’s a term you hear a lot these days. Politicians wanting a return to “Common Sense.” I know what you’re thinking, is there a politician that really understands the meaning of the word?

Here’s the thing; I’m done with common sense. I think it’s overrated and shallow. As a Follower of Jesus, common sense shouldn’t be my goal. It wasn’t His. In fact, common sense has so little to do with the life of Christ I don’t know why Christians get sucked into believing the two are interconnected.

There was and is nothing about the life of Christ that is common or makes sense. When I found out I had cancer common sense lost its appeal?

In my new world I find many like me who have lost their need for common sense and instead reliance is centered on the man of Jesus Christ.

If we keep looking for common sense or reasons that things happen disappointment will be around every corner. If we try to make sense out of what’s happening we limit God and once again, make life about us instead of Him.

So as you venture out into your day, don’t spend it trying to figure out why, when, where or how life is going to happen. Simply take one step in front of the other and understand that adventure is what’s left when you leave common sense at home. Besides, who wants a common life anyway?
