The Burden and Blessing of Common Sense

Sermon The Burden and Blessing of Common Sense

πŸ™πŸΌπŸ“ΏπŸ›πŸ€²πŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ
Heavenly Father, Creator of wisdom and truth, we thank you for the gift of discernment. Yet we also acknowledge the weight it can bring. Teach us today how to carry the blessing of common sense with grace, patience, and humility, even when surrounded by those who lack it. In Yahusha’s Name, Halleluyah.

Scriptural Foundation

MishlΔ• (Proverbs) 4:7, Halleluyah Scriptures — “Wisdom is the principal matter. Therefore get wisdom. And with all your getting, get understanding.”

πŸ“This image humorously says; “Common sense is not a gift, it’s a punishment. Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn’t have it.”

Many of us have felt this, seeing clear solutions when others seem blind to them. But Scripture shows us that with greater understanding comes greater responsibility. Just as light exposes what is hidden in the dark, common sense (spiritual discernment) often puts us in situations where we must guide, correct, and endure.

Common Sense as Spiritual Discernment ~ The world calls it “common sense,” nevertheless the Word calls it wisdom and understanding. True wisdom does not just help you make good decisions, it calls you to lead and protect those who cannot see the pitfalls ahead. Yahusha Himself often walked among people who could not grasp His truth (Yoḥanan/John 6:60–66). Yet, He did not abandon them; He taught with patience. The Amadlozi teach us through heritage that knowledge is a trust passed down from ancestors to protect and guide. The Burden of Awareness ~ When you see clearly, you carry a heavier load. Like Rafiki in The Lion King, who sees the bigger picture, you may find yourself frustrated at the ignorance around you. This is not a curse. It is a calling. Mohegan traditions teach that those who understand the web of life are responsible for protecting it. In Zulu wisdom, Unkulunkulu gives insight not for personal pride, nonetheless to safeguard the community. Responding With Grace. The danger of wisdom is pride. The enemy wants you to grow impatient, bitter, or self-righteous. Instead, let your insight be a lamp to others, not a weapon against them. Buddhist mindfulness teaches us to breathe, listen, and act with compassion, a skill needed when dealing with those who “don’t get it.”
Polish Catholic perseverance reminds us to keep our faith steady through frustration. Turning “Punishment” into Purpose. What feels like a punishment can become a ministry. Your ability to see what others do not is your opportunity to serve; offer guidance gently. Protecting the vulnerable from harm they cannot foresee. Pray for those who walk in confusion.πŸ“–Eph’siym (Ephesians) 5:15–16, Halleluyah Scriptures — “See then that you walk exactly, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are wicked.”πŸ“œ

Father Yah, thank You for giving us wisdom and discernment. Help us to use it with humility and love. When frustration rises, replace it with patience. When pride knocks, remind us that wisdom is for service, not self. Guide our steps so our common sense becomes a blessing to others, shining the light of Yahusha in every situation. Halleluyah.
