The Noble Mind of Man

The Noble Mind of Man
God has made men noble (Acts 17:11). The mind of man seeks understanding, based on knowledge. His mind will search for the true order of things and dig deeply for the foundations of which came this knowledge. When the mind is satisfied that none of these things come from his own vain imaginations then acceptance comes into his heart (a true approving) and truth is established. And “blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves”. (Rom 14:22b). The noble man’s truth will become like a sure peg on his wall on which many other truths can be hung.
Ignoble men love their own imagination more than the labor of the mind which establishes truth. These men develop superstitions and believe fate and other forces control their lives. Their minds remain simple and undeveloped, turning to fables instead of searching for truth. Their own fears guide them, in contrast to the curiosity of the mind which leads the noble to establish truth. Because the ignoble mind is not satisfied by the establishing of truth, it finds relief in its own imagination’s inventions. But this relief, brought by the inventions of the mind, is not acceptance. And time tests the imaginations of the mind, proving them false. There is not peg on the wall of the ignoble man’s heart, and no peace that reigns there . . . only fear that his false comforts will be discovered.
Fear then becomes a tool in the hand of the enemy. Satan uses fear to lead a man into deception. The ignoble man will then begin to love his deceptions and the reward of sin; pleasure and self-acceptance. He will develop his own standard whereby to measure himself because he finds Mine too hard. This man will not be transformed into My image by the renewing of his mind, but instead will develop justifications for remaining in his own image. This is the very reason I will say “I don’t know you” to some who now serve Me, for they refused My glory, loving their own instead (Mt 7:23 & 25:12). But the noble man quests after the knowledge of God and thereby will be filled, and satisfied. Amen.
