As I was reading the second book from C.S. Lewis' space trilogy this week, it felt like the Holy Spirit gave me understanding in an aspect which I was not able to see as clearly before. Is it not exciting to be on this journey of growing ever closer in relationship with the one who made the universe? I just love it. It helps us to see the purpose of life more clearly and to know where we are going.
Our minds were not made to just consider aspects related to a limited time frame of 100 years or less. They were not made to just think about the developments on a single planet called earth (although this seems to be overwhelming in itself, at times ;). In my opinion it is reasonable to assume we are called to use up to 100% of our brain capacity, like Jesus does. Does it not sometimes seem he was further ahead in his mind than most of the people around him, when we read the Bible?
I believe Adam and Eve used close to 100% of their mental capacity as well, before they came under the leadership of Satan through believing his lies. That began the process of changing into the image of their new leader / father, who seemingly operates on a limited amount of his mind, as well. Otherwise he would make much better decisions.
Now we are back on track through our relationship with Jesus, obviously. But the enemy does not stop trying to influence our minds, since he is scared of believers who walk in their full potential and who grow in their friendship with God, every day. Spending time with God also increases our SQ - our spiritual quotient. Our SQ is actually much more important than our IQ or EQ (emotional quotient), although everything helps.
The introduction got longer than planned, before I could get to the unveiling that came through reading C.S. Lewis' book. This means I have to make this a series with several parts. Social media statistics reveal shorter blog post are just read far more often than long ones. And I am not just sharing this for my own enjoyment. :)
