SANE LIVING
Clifford F. Hood, former president of the United States Steel Corporation, tells of a twelve-year-old boy who wrote to the Library of Congress requesting two books. He wanted one on Space Travel and another on Sane Living. He concluded his letter to the Library with this sentence: “If you can’t send both books, send the one on Space Travel, cause I’m more interested in that.” Mr. Hood commented: “This lad mirrors our age, for we are a nation of people looking out at distant stars, seeking to conquer them, when we have as yet to achieve sane living among ourselves on this planet.” Our compulsion for conquering other planets, when we haven’t learned how to live sanely on this one, does seem strange. I am firmly convinced that sane living will never be our possession until we decide to walk in the way Jesus directed. He said, “I am the way…no one comes to the Father but by me.” (John 14:6) Other ways intrigue us, but the way of Jesus is the only one which gets us safely past the problems of this perplexing age…the list of tragedies in each days news is enough to bring us to tears. I’m interested in space travel…but contrary to our twelve-year-old friend, if I can only one book, send me the one on Sane Living, cause I’m more interested in that. Psychiatrist James T. Fisher in his book, “A Few Buttons Missing: The Case Book of A Psychiatrist” writes: “If you were to take the sum total of all the authoritative articles ever written by the most qualified of psychologists and psychiatrists on the subject of mental hygiene-if you were to combine them and refine them and leave our the excess verbiage-if you were to have these unadulterated bits of pure scientific knowledge concisely expressed by the most capable of living poets, you would have an awkward and incomplete summation of the Sermon on the Mount.” In this graphic way Fisher suggests the Bible should not be overlooked as the source of answers to the problems we face. When we open a new package, we look in the box for the directions. God made men and women, and provided instructions (the Bible) for sane living. It’s not that modern man has tried the directions and found them faulty-it’s just that many haven’t tried them at all.
