ONLY IN THE NATURAL
Opposites attract.
In the natural this is a reality, as we can see so vividly just by understanding the most common examples.
One magnet is attracted to the other, but only on opposite sides or ends.
My wife tells me that a clean book shelf will become very dusty in just a few days, and my clean desk will always become cluttered whenever I sit at it for just a few moments.
Send a clean grandchild outdoors and the child that returns has found the mud in the garden and the hair from the shedding dog or cat.
In our lives and in that of our children, we see good attitude corrupted by exposure to bad attitude, or good intent spoiled by our exposure to a stronger willed person whose intent is not good.
Most of us are familiar with the composition of the atomic particle; in the simplest explanation it is held together only because of laws of design that state that opposites attract.
Let us examine this for just a moment; There are three basic components of the atomic structure, the proton, the neutron and the electron.
The proton is a positively charged subatomic particle.
The neutron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.
The electron is a negatively charged particle that spins around what is known at the atomic nuclei.
The atomic nuclei is the mass that is created when the proton and neutron are drawn together by attraction.
That would seem simple enough, however whenever one of the elements are disturbed something devastating can occur.
Nuclear fission, or as we would state an explosion with devastating consequence.
In the spiritual we are taught that what occurs in the natural is in many instances is not what we should prefer.
As the electron spins around the nuclei of the atom, it holds the mass together by being repelled by one and drawn to the other. Causing the spin or the rotation.
Using scripture as the guide to our relationship to the world and those of the world, we see that opposites really do not attract but rather should be repelled by each other.
In order for opposites relationally to co-exist, one of the opposites must become less than it would desire to be.
A great measure of caution should be used in any relationship with those who are outside of a walk of holiness, as far too many Christians are weakened and even corrupted whenever they cannot, or choose not to separate themselves from the world.
The scripture has many things to say about those who truly serve God and who have given themselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the way that we must guard our relationship with the One who purchased our redemption with His own blood.
In the natural we see that it is true that opposites attract, but in the spiritual different laws exist.
To receive you must first give. Luke 6:38
To live you must die. Philippians 1:21
To be enlarged, you must first decrease. John 3:30
To gain, we must lose. Matthew 16:25
We are required to bless those who curse us. Matthew 5:44
We must be humbled before we can be exalted. 1 Peter 5:6
We must give up our own will to receive His. Mark 14:36
We must be born again. John 3:6-8
We must escape the entanglements of the world. 2 Peter 2:20
We must flee the magnet of temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Our God resists those with pride in their hearts and gives grace to the humble. James 4:6
If we know to do good and do it not then it is sin. James 4:17
If we communicate with the evil our good behavior is corrupted. 1 Corinthians 15:33
We must separate our lives from those who know not our Lord. 2 Corinthians 6:17
There is a noticeable difference between the holy and the unholy. Leviticus 10:9-11
The righteous have no business with the un-righteous
Light has no communion with darkness,
And a believer and an unbeliever can not agree for long. 2 Corinthians 6:14
The intellect of man can discover and understand some of the natural laws that God has by His own hand put into place, and yet intellect as found in humanity cannot fathom the truth as stated in 1 Corinthians 1:27 “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;”
Only faith in us in the same measure that a child bears faith will allow us to fully understand the laws of the spiritual Luke 18 :16-17
To know you Lord and your ways first,
is my prayer for all of us.
