Fantastic Friday #405- Senses

Senses

³³ Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” ³⁴ Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

I wonder if when people say "come back to your senses" they actually know what they are saying.  What are senses anyway?  Touch, taste, see, smell and hear are all senses, and when they are put all together they are a very powerful force.  What happens when we ignore what the Lord commands, and only focus on  something bad that makes us feel good for a short period?  Sometimes our senses deceive us to take the wrong path.  Have you ever thought of the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit guides you and your senses?  Sometimes we get caught up in what other people are doing by watching them and if these people are of bad character we can easily ignore what we should be doing and follow them. All the while the Holy Spirit is nudging us not to participate in this poor behavior.  Kind of like a sense that overpowers the other five if we listen and feel what the Spirit is doing in us. Don't be misled by your senses or others, but be led by the Spirit.

Have a great weekend.
