When we come upon decisions or are trying to discern the truth and what is good, we can use logic, but let's listen to the Spirit and the way it makes us feel about the matter. The Spirit will guide. Do not rely upon logic alone. To the Jews, Jesus was just another man trying to convince people that he was the Messiah. They were not in tune with the Spirit and what it could teach them. Be humble & listen.

Do not be Deceived
Christ and Satan both have the ability to influence tremendously. In fact, it's Satan's job to make things appear good or true. With the craftiness of the devil, it can be hard to distinguish good from evil merely by using logic. Jesus came in a time when the Jews were all about upholding the law and everything was logical. When Jesus professed to be Christ, it was totally illogical to them... He did miracles on the sabbath and excused sinners and even told the Pharisees they were sinners. They were the ones who upheld the law so strictly; how could they be sinners? Jesus must be of the devil.

Wow! We were talking about evolution in geology today and our teacher was super logical about it....and I just had to disagree with him even though THAT seemed illogical. We really do need to humble ourselves and listen to what the spirit is telling us even if it does not make much logical sense at the time. Great thoughts!
P.S. The word verification is phonardy hahaha! & thank you for that yummy cake recipe...that sounds sooooo good. we are definitely going on a diet/work out schedule AFTER the holidays! haha. <3
