Colossians 2:8 NLT
There's a lot of nonsense and empty philosophies running rampant in our world today. satan - the great deceiver - is eloquent in his lies and twisting of the truth. Are we able to tell the difference between something that is Truth and something that has only an element of truth?
You know that it can be very difficult to tell some knock-off products from the name-brand goods unless they're side by side with good lighting. The same is true with the everybody-feel-good-no-matter-what philosophies of life. They sound good, but are they Truth? The only way to know for sure is to hold them up against the Truth and Light of God's Word. In 2 Timothy 2:15, we are instructed to study the Word so that we are able to rightly divide the Word of Truth.
Paul warned us in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NLT) For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
How will we fight the lies of the enemy if we don't have the proper weaponry?
Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for giving us the heads up to the enemy's battle plans. Open our eyes to see, our ears to hear, and strengthen our hearts to fight courageously for Your Truths. Shine the Light of Your Truth into every situation. Expose the lies and subtleties of satan. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
