If we are going to keep our minds restful at all, we will actually think God into His world ? not dismiss Him from His world, as many are trying to do. We will allow Him by faith to be in our beings what He actually is in His world. The idea that God exists and that He is sovereign in the heavens is absolutely fundamental to human morality. Our view of human decency is also involved in this. Decency is that quality which is proper or becoming. Human decency depends upon an adequate and wholesome concept of God. Those who take the position that there is no God cannot possibly hold a right and proper view of human nature. That is evident in God’s revelation. There is not a man or woman anywhere who can hold an adequate view of our human nature until he or she accepts the fact that we came from God and that we shall return to God again.

Thought
As created beings God has given us the option of opening ourselves to Him by faith. To do so is to experience light in mind, heart and daily life. There is also the option of excluding Him, to pull the blinds shut and live as if He were not. Such living means dark night now and forever.

Prayer
I open myself to Your light, O Lord. Attune my view of decency. I want to live in Your light.
