The 1’s and 0’s the yeses’ and no’s
Sometimes, we think things are so complex. Or at least we try to make them that way. But, in reality they are simple. So simple; that there are only two choices. Our daily struggles, and swirl of confusion; in actuality is a “binary problem”.
Like the binary code that guides computers, it is our series of yeses’ and no’s that guides us; taking us to where we currently are. Sometimes we would all like to blame our current conditions on some “great mystery”. As if we had no idea how we got there.
I know we all have “different” starting points. Some were raised with a silver spoon in their mouths and others were glad to even have a “plastic” one. This is not just about wealth (money). We are all starting from our own points of not only wealth, but spiritual & family heritage, education, home environment, family structure, etc.
Even with taking all this into account; there comes a time when this “heritage” starts to be overridden by our choices of: yes or no.
No matter how “blessed” or how “deprived” a person is; things start changing at a certain point.
The blessed can say “no” to God & Truth and “yes” to the devil & lies; over and over again in their choices, until finally they are no longer able to be called blessed, because they are consumed, with depravity and cursing. Eventually it becomes all they see; and all they know. Even though they were blessed; now because of their daily and moment by moment choices they are deprived of that blessing, and are becoming full of the curse.
In like manner also, the ones who started out their journey deprived and surrounded by cursing that say “no” to the devil and his lies, and “yes” to God and His Truth over and over again; begin slowly but surely to distance themselves from the depravity they were born into.
This “binary problem” of yeses’ and no’s affects the spiritual and the natural.
People born into great poverty and depravity have risen to great heights in wealth, blessing, and wisdom. People with no spiritual heritage have become Giants in the faith.
Likewise those born blessed spiritually and naturally, have fallen into depravity and cursing never to rise again. Each has made their own choices; in this “binary problem”. So, great mysteries of success and failures should no longer remain so.
If we choose wisely and repeatedly; we will succeed. If we choose foolishly and repeatedly; we will fail.
Simple and easy. Even a child can understand it; which is good because we ALL start this process while we still are one!
“See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;……… I call heaven and earth as witness this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live: Deuteronomy 30:15 & 19 Jubilee Bible 2000.
It’s NOT TOO LATE to change your ways if there is still breath within you!
Becoming like Jesus is the answer to our binary problem! So refuse to be confused by the gray! There is only wisdom and folly, truth and lies, God and evil.
Let God be your “1” and you be His!
Remain unshaken by the devil’s zero; and the threat of his lies.
God’s “1” is always greater than the devil’s zero! No matter how many zeroes he strings together The “1” is still greater!
