Lord God, we know that Satan is a very real enemy and that he would like nothing better than to make us ineffective for You and Your kingdom. I ask that you will help us to stay in Your Word and to be aware of the truth that no matter how powerful Satan is, You are more powerful. Amen.
“Most people mindlessly accept whatever they hear and see…Few Christians seriously consider the consequences of their choices. We simply live our lives responding to people, circumstances, and influences around us…It all looks so good; it feels so right; it seems so innocent. But we end up in abusive relationships, head over heels in debt, angry, frustrated, trapped, and overwhelmed. We have been deceived”.
Hebrews 5:14 “Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.”
“In order to grow from infant Christians to mature Christians, we must learn discernment. We must train our conscience, our senses, our mind, and our body to distinguish good from evil. Can you recognize temptation before it traps you? Can you tell the difference between a correct use of Scripture and a mistaken one?”
“Our capacity to feast on deeper knowledge of God “(solid food)” is determined by our spiritual growth. Too often we want God’s banquet before we are spiritually capable of digesting it. As you grow in the Lord and put into practice what you have learned, your capacity to understand will also grow.”
My Prayer: Heavenly God, Father Almighty, help us to grow our ability to discern good from evil and to make Godly choices. Show us if there is any area of our life where we are currently being deceived by input that is contrary to the Word of God. In Jesus’ name I pray this day, Amen.
