Toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then i praised
The Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever"
Daniel 4 :34
From time to time I hear someone say, "this problem is driving me crazy!" Or "My kids are driving me crazy!" You might be bothered, annoyed, irrated; but not really crazy there's a difference.
But the question is how do you keep your sanity in a mad world? Keep your perspective by letting God solve the equation of your life. Otherwise, you are like a pilot who, without a chart or compass, cannot locate the airfield
The prophet Isaiah, some 700 years before Jesus Christ was born, spoke about a time of great conflict and confusion. He described the madness of a world without God, saying"Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead" (Isaiah 59:10). Until a person finds God. He begins at no beginning and works to no end. Life will never make sense without God full of sound and fury but signifying nothing.
This is what Dr. C.E. M. Joad, a philosopher and psychologist who taught at the University of London, realized. He was an atheist until he visited the concentration camps at the end of the world war 2. What he saw made him sick to his stomach. "How could men treat their fellowmen this way?'' He asked himself. He recognized the horrible powers of evil and reasoned that if evil exists there must be an opposite of it. Which he came to recognize as God.
The bottom line is that until you include God in your life, yours will be a world without rhyme or season. He's the one who gives meaning. Definition and understanding to life.
