IQ
It’s 6.14 a.m. Woke up with this thought.
"It didn’t take the dogs any PhD to author books on understanding homosapien behaviours but it certainly took many PhDs to analyse canine behaviours!"
And I thought we are the smarter specy! My thought is probably dripping with paradoxes. Either that, the dogs are really masters at reading body language. I mean, how exactly did Orli learn to backup when he was being taught so, other than concepts of conditioning. He certainly didn’t read any book! If canines could actually read, I wonder if they would still be as obedient and trainable. As it is, Freckles, my more intelligent dog (who can differentiate the names of her toys) pits her will against mine; she actually thinks through her options when I issue her a command!
Reading all these great books by these great authors such as C.S. Lewis, Spurgeon, Tozer, I would assume would make us smarter in knowing which way the true path lies; perhaps we think through too many options, consider too many sides, weigh too many consequences. Yet we struggle with simply putting our trust in God. Something which needs only a step of faith requires such complicated thought processes. Are we too intelligent for our own good? The mechanism of the self is governed by its will power that God has given us. Do we use the sovereignty of the will God has given us with responsibility? Do we surrender this will at His feet, and asked to be led instead by His Spirit? Do we temper our intelligence with God’s foreknowledge and wisdom?
