the principle of devalue

Human nature (fallen nature) has its quirks. One such quirk I refer to as the principle of "devalue". When we are faced with decisions (that require change) we invoke this principle. If I can convince myself that my current circumstance has less value than the proposed circumstance then transition makes sense and is easer to pursue. I see this often with pilgrims setting out on the simple church journey. There seems to be a need to "devalue" what one is leaving (often the IC) in order to embrace what one is called to. I suggest this does not have to be. It is enough to have confidence in Gods leading/speaking. I am thankful that God hasn't given me the assignment of final determination of all things related to His Kingdom. I readily accept those who are led/called to expose the failure of our systems. There have always been prophets who pointed out departure from the heart of God. But, generaly speaking, we should leave the trash talk to pick up basketball games and focus on the journey the Lord has called us to. I must learn this myself.
