Make Sense Will You

One of the strangest experiences we get to participate in, is when somebody begins to think outside the box. Two things usually happen right away, first, their friends want to put them back inside the box. Now before you say how bad that is, stop and consider how hard it is on friends when someone they love goes nuts? That's right I said nuts, because you realize that as you get farther and farther outside the box, you will appear to be losing touch with reality, which is...wait for it, the box. The second thing that happens is the friends, who are now saddened by the persons loss of sense, will begin to try and manipulate them back inside the box. So when an emotional plea to reason doesn't help, switch to manipulation. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Now remember, if you are the one thinking outside the box, you have caused all this difficulty for your friends, haven't you? Now as you are mulling this over in your mind, I want you to read the following statement and understand what it means: "Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran." Abram was the first, perhaps, to get outside the box, really outside the box, and begin to see, that the one who was talking with him, wasn't him. He wasn't delusional, the creator God, the one who makes everything that is made; He was telling Abram to do a deed. Abram was listening, nobody else would. Abram appeard to be crazy, but notice also what happens, not everybody turns against Abram- and in fact, if you believe that his neighbors living in Haran said, "Abram, good decision, yeah, your right, we always hear that voice as well, sure, sure, it's in our heads too. Yes, yes, we agree with you, Go, good concept, take off, leave everything, it'll work," maybe your getting outside the box, yourself? Think that's what they said? So the next time your friends begin to start in on you about how you are going about doing what you are doing, if it's outside the box, perhaps it won't mean as much to you, but if it hasn't been outside the box, have you been listening? Because my real question here is, why would God want the same old box all the time, that's hardly creative is it, and He is, after all, isn't He, creator God? Leave a comment so we can begin to generate an idea about how this box ought to look, hey?
