Offering up our minds unto joy

Scripture tells us that there was an instant when God decided to “make man in our image”. In terms of time it followed the “beginning”. Scripture, being infallible, gives us an accurate account of our glorious beginning. Perhaps the description does not satisfy our curiosity so that our science challenges the account, but the simple beauty of “in the beginning” and “let us make man in our image” can if we humble ourselves, not only provide us with all that is needed, in matters of faith and life, but trigger in our mind and even our souls euphoria which overcomes all, even the best efforts of the “great deluder”. Each of us have the opportunity each moment of our time here to access this garden of thought, to walk its paths all perfectly designed by the Great One from whom we are imaged, and enjoy the truth that grows there. The garden has odors which are so pleasant to the mind that a simple giddy euphoria overcomes us and we find joy. But it is found not in getting as it seems but “Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD:” To God be the glory.
