In our current state of the union (here in modern day America), this proverb gives us a deeper insight into the problem in which we find ourselves as a nation. When you abandon God, eventually you abandon common sense. When that happens, Hell literally breaks loose. Any faith you may have dies. A dead faith is just that, dead. Death follows. I mean the attitude of death. Life is no longer valued, and issues that weren’t issues become topics to be argued. Your behavior follows. Think about the current issues in today’s society: more than two genders, transsexualism, abortion, physician assisted suicide, same-sex marriage, legalization of illegal drugs, immigration, hating the American flag, blaming the government for everything, wanting restitution for slavery that happened over 150 years ago, the promotion of socialism, and on and on. Common sense answers a lot of these issues, and yet common sense isn’t allowed into the conversation. This proverb can never be made to be more true than in today’s lack of it. Death reigns when it’s abandoned; death of the genders, marriage, the nuclear family, hospital practices, and in abortion’s case, life itself. Common sense is there for a reason. It’s God’s way of keeping order. Without it, chaos and death follow. Truth matters, and common sense is part of it. As the old American Express slogan stated, (Common Sense) “Don’t leave home without it”.
16 The person who strays from common sense will end up in the company of the dead.
Proverbs 21:16
