Master the obvious, it is at that point that the learning begins.  There is a God, because there is no other explanation which could possibly explain the wonder that is His creation.  Since He exists and this is His creation it stands to reason that He would be the one to decide whether there are any rules of conduct within His masterpiece.  All things operate within strict parameters, even chaos follows patterns and although there may be things that we cannot explain it is reasonable to assume that those things lay within set guidelines, laws and standards of operation.  It is painfully clear that there are also those who do not seek knowledge thinking themselves beyond it, or desperately seeking to shield themselves from truth in order to follow their own self-serving paths.

The wicked, foolish or pagan man says, “If God exists serving myself is tantamount to mutiny, so I must deny His existence.”  This will not alleviate inevitable judgment but such perverse thinking does allow quelling of the conscience making sin’s momentary bliss possible.  It is obvious that God is there and if He created all this just by speaking then He has the power to reverse that utterance.  Here is the part that is difficult for the human morality to fathom, He promised that He wouldn’t destroy this world but rather provide a path to salvation for each of us to reside with Him throughout eternity.  The unrighteous man believes that God has more than enough reason to condemn us, in fact his guilt of disobedience sours his spoil.  That is a concept that is too awe inspiring to contemplate for the disobedient spirit.  A God who loves each of us so much that He is willing to forgive even the most abominable transgression for the price of repentance and belief.

Therefore, it is logical to conclude that we should stand in fearful awe of such Almighty Glory, Perfection and Authority, which exceeds every measurable limit of our imagination.  Thus the beginning of wisdom is when we comprehend that rightful fear of the Lord.  A fear of respect, a fear of consciousness, a fear of understanding and a fear of the one who Holds the Keys to this world, death and Hades.  Respect for the God who knows everything I am, everything I’ve done and all that I will ever think, believe or become.  A wise fear, not the consuming terror of the things which crawl from dark places.  Them we need not fear but pity, rebuke and stand against, in the knowledge of God’s victory.  For they will face the eternal judgment alongside every denying soul, every mocking mouthpiece and every unrepentant person, caught by their own snare.

The realms of the obvious call every man to reason.  Not the deflection causality of the evolutionary brigand seeking to preserve every man deemed worthy by gift of solid breeding, like himself, while condemning those considered weaker species.  Hitler was such a man as this, those who run our universities, as are those who own our laboratories of scientific research, write our textbooks and practice revisionist history.  Another obvious question is why do such men as these hate the Jews?  This is not consistent with evolutionary theory but rather the demise of the self-seeking wicked who yearn to be free from the painful reality that God is real and at some point they will face Him.  Irrational hate for the Nation of Israel is also proof of their allegiance to that fallen angel who would call himself equal to the Almighty.  They serve the plan of God’s enemies and are therefore enemies of the Lord themselves creating an overwhelming fear which permeates all their thoughts and actions.  That fear creates such trauma in their hearts that they develop religious PTSD, and must deny the obvious truth that is God to exchange it for a lie and consequently lock themselves into the dream reality of self actualization, their only solace service to gods of spirituality without accountability.

To those who would know wisdom read from God’s book, particularly from the opening chapters of Proverbs, which gives precise recipe to establishing wisdom and right living.  Fear the Lord in His righteousness just as any child would revere His Father but knowing that the Almighty is Creator of All.  Grow in wisdom and faith as you hear and contemplate God’s guidance.  Master the Obvious, it is at this point that learning begins.  It is obvious that God loves us and I will begin with that comforting truth.  Praise Jesus.  Amen.
