Rationalization Is Something We All Do….

I know this is going to rub some people the wrong way, probably because they don’t honor truth. They believe what they want to believe, to the point of seeking out false information and believing “its perceived truth”. This rationalization is something we all do, but for those who have surrendered to God, being honest with themselves comes easier because they know it honors God, and it’s His Spirit that guides. With all the situations involving police and the black community being in the news, one has to wonder why are some people distorting the truth in these cases, believing what they want to believe at the expense of common sense. In every one of these cases the law was broken. It’s the reason why the police (aka law enforcement) were involved to begin with. Once the police arrived, there was opposition, disrespect, disobedience, and drug intoxication. The media tends to only present facts that help narrate the story they want to tell, and hand pick the stories/situations that fit their narrative. It’s a huge disservice and downright sinful behavior. It’s like giving people poison and expecting them to drink it and be fine. My point here is when people honor fools, it’s exactly what they do when they put a convicted, drug intoxicated, long-criminal history felon above men and women who have sacrificed their lives to serve and protect at any cost, they compromise the truth. I know there are corrupt police officers out there, but there are fewer than people think, and their job isn’t for the faint at heart. If you ever want to see their perspective adopt one as a friend. Their stories might just give you a new perspective. I mean what is a law-enforcement officer supposed to do when he/she is threatened for trying to make right a wrong, or prevent further damage being done? Any time a group honors a fool, it shows the true lack of insight on their part. And it shows how much of a Godless society we live in. You may disagree, and that’s fine, but the truth needs no defense. There is one truth, and it’s not possible to rationalize it away just to fit inside your own agenda. Truth’s agenda always tops man’s will.

8 Honoring a fool is as foolish as tying a stone to a slingshot. Proverbs 26:8
