“[[Reason]], [[wisdom]], and [[faith]] are man’s highest human [[attainments]].” ([[1:5|1:5.10]])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “How do you measure [[human]] [[attainments]] on [[your world]]? For many, it has to do with these achievements or incidents that make one ‘[[famous]].’ Often, they are also measured according to earning [[abilities]] — the number of digits on your bank statement.
“Such identified human attainments, while at times remarkable and awe-[[inspiring]], are missing the mark of true [[greatness]]. In [[fact]], they may inhibit its [[manifestation]] by inappropriately catering to [[ego]] [[satisfaction]] and the activation of inappropriate [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superiority_complex superiority complexes].
“[[Jesus]] ‘wisely’ steered away from such [[entrapments]]. He did not pursue the [[accumulation]] of material [[wealth]], as He well [[understood]] the fine line between meeting the basic needs for [[sustainability]] or yielding to the pull of vain [[desires]]. By definition, a want is a [[choice]] — a desire which you may or may not be able to get. Life will continue if you do not obtain what you want.
“Jesus was fully engaged in His spiritual [[calling]] — [[body]], [[mind]], [[heart]], and [[soul]]. How else could He have paved the way to authentic human [[greatness]]? To be spirit-led involves its [[versatile]] [[facets]]; it implies that you are reason-led, [[growing]] in [[wisdom]] and [[faith]]. No one can ever rob you of your spiritual achievements. They are yours, forever and ever.
“From that [[perspective]], it is highly advisable to regularly scrutinize the substance of the daily [[transactions]] recorded on your spiritual bank statement to ensure that your [[priorities]] are in good order.
“Unlike material [[possessions]], spiritual possessions are priceless. They cannot be bought. They have to be ‘homegrown.’ As well, they are highly rewarding, as they upgrade your [[character]], causing it to [[manifest]] more and more of its latent [[greatness]]. Someday, you will look back at your track record and be confounded by the wealth of potentials seeded in you by the Greatest of All.”
