To rationalize means to ascribe (one’s acts, opinions, etc.) to causes that superficially seem reasonable and valid but that actually are unrelated to the true, possibly unconscious and often less creditable or agreeable causes.

Who do you place trust in? Man or the Creator of the Universe who formed both of these individuals in the womb? FATHER is not unaware of what is going on throughout the earth today yet men and women think they have the wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to make decisions which possibly affect all of mankind. They rationalize why they should take various actions and little do they understand the consequences.
We must not rationalize why we don’t meditate on HIS Word day and night. FATHER has the only true solutions to the problems that plague mankind. Do you want to treat the symptoms or the problem?
Joshua 24:14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!
15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
The decision is really simple.
