We live in an age of deception. The enemy of our soul uses the media, the marketplace, and the world to try and seduce us. Tragically, we even lie to ourselves. I heard of a school teacher that lost her life savings in a business scheme that had been elaborately explained by a swindler. When her investment disappeared and her dream was shattered, she went to the Better Business Bureau. “Why on earth didn’t you come to us first?” the official asked. “Didn’t you know about the Better Business Bureau?” “Oh, yes,” said the lady sadly. “I’ve always known about you, but I didn’t come because I was afraid you’d tell me not to do it.”
The folly of human nature is that even though we know where the answers lie—God’s Word—we don’t turn there for fear of what it will say. Let’s be honest with God, each other, and even ourselves by embracing Truth and rejecting the lies of this world.
