Today I will invite the Holy Spirit to inform my common sense so that, when called by Christ, I will respond with “yes, Lord” and not “yes Lord, but.” Common sense is a gift that must be tempered by faith and trust.

“At the bar of common sense Jesus Christ’s statements may seem mad; but bring them to the bar of faith, and you begin to find with awestruck spirit that they are the words of God. Trust entirely in God, and when He brings you to the venture, see that you take it.”

Luke 9:61
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but…
KJV

Today I will faithfully approach God’s altar without any “buts.”
