Stumbling Blocks

“Very often we are our own worst enemy as we foolishly build stumbling blocks on the path that leads to success and happiness.” - Louis Binstock

We are our own worst enemy. Until we sufficiently humble ourselves and rid ourselves of our own pride and carnal desires will we remove the stumbling blocks before us that keep us from further light and truth.

The principle of stumbling block is temporal and eternal. The temporal way is the fact that we cannot not get over our pride enough to embrace a new method or a new way. The eternal principle is we cannot get over our pride enough to embrace God's way or the way of old and simplicity.

The great thing about this life is it is simple and God is simple. Yet we live in a World of complications. We over complicate transactions, relationships, and daily decisions to the point that we confuse ourselves. We set our hearts upon the things of gain in status, money, and lifestyle.

The B Side To The Truth is we can create anything we want in this life. Just because we can, does not mean we should. Just because we can drill off the Gulf Coast 30,000 feet below to a super well, doesn't mean we won't destroy sea life. Just because we can do anything with money, doesn't mean we should.

The reality is we can do a lot of things in this life, but it doesn't make them right. In fact doing those things are what typically creates eternal stumbling blocks. While we feel we may be conquering the World... ask our self this question... is it our World to conquer?
