It’s Instinct That Draws Us….

Whenever I hear someone say “it’s instinct”, whether referring to animals or human beings, the first thing that comes to my mind is “GOD”. He put it there. When He designed the earth and all that is in it, He gave instructions to everything, individually. The turtles lay their eggs at their place of birth, regardless of how far away they are when that time comes. The salmon do the same, swimming thousands of miles to do so. The eagle can see from miles above the smallest rodent for his next meal. The bear returns to its den to hibernate through the cold of winter giving birth in this hypnotic state. And it’s cubs know where to find milk from day one. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Most of all, human beings have been given a conscience, knowing right from wrong. This stems from their knowledge of the existence of God (or a Higher Being for prideful ones). That knowledge of His existence gives us zero excuses for not pursuing Him. It’s instinct that draws us toward Him. The Truth has a way of capturing our spiritual nature, like two magnets. But that instinct has to fight pride along the way. Just like two magnets, it matters which side is facing the other, we have two sides. One that repels God, and ignores our conscience. And the other side that wants to cling to God, to be good, to be filled with truth, and to do the right thing. God has given us the way to know Him, it’s just a matter of us following our instinct.

36 Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind? Job 38:36
