IT’S ALMOST NEVER THE BUTLER

One of the great cliches in the long history of the mystery novel and movie is, “the butler did it”.

I would like to know exactly how many times the butler was the culprit in all of the thousands of mystery novels written and movies produced.

I’ll wager it was only a few. Yet, people have been trained by that
to look past the deeper likelihood that someone else committed the crime because the “butler” is the most obvious suspect.

One thing we know is that in all mysteries, even the great mystery of life and death, it’s seldom the obvious.

It’s that way also in the study of the Word of God.

People shy away from the study of the Word because they don’t
understand it as written sometimes, and they are unwilling to put any
effort into unraveling the mystery.

It takes discipline and desire and many people want to live
vicariously off of the desires and disciplines of others.

Ephesians 1:17 (AMP) – “[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of
wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the
[deep and intimate] knowledge of Him.”

Yeah, that’s what I pray for too.

Spiritual realness takes the intrusion of the Holy Spirit in a very
supernatural way to transform a person from thinking “the butler did
it”, to getting deep into the mystery of the revelation in order to
discover the secrets.

Everyone needs to “solve for X” in their life, especially when X = upside down.

Should one always just throw their hands up and yield to defeat?

Yielding to God is not a sign of defeat or giving up.

Yielding to God is seeking to solve the mystery and not settle for a
pat solution.

Yielding to God is opening the mind to a higher intelligence and
having it filled with wisdom and revelation.

If you pray for it and yield to it God will build it into you.

Insight. Revelation. Deep knowledge into the mysteries, secrets, and
knowledge of God. Spend your precious time getting to know everything
about Jesus. Don’t waste the few hours we have each day in unfruitful
nonsense. Some stuff might be exciting to study and read, but in the
long run has ZERO value in the grand scheme of things. There is a
reason why people get interested more in nonsense than the Word of
God. The devil will get you sidetracked into things that might even
seem important, but really have no value in everyday Kingdom living.

This is the stuff that Adam tried to get illegally and which has now
become available through the sacrifice and intervention of Jesus
Christ.

Yeah, and you thought it was all just about some cute bible stories.
The good stuff lies below the surface like any real treasure does.
