Proverbs
26:24,25
"Whoever hates
disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks
graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart."
ESV
Some people can make
themselves look very wonderful, giving, and charming. Without the gift of
discernment, most of us will believe these people and get blind-sided by their
evil ways. In this day and age, discernment of deception should be on
the priority list for every Christian. The Word says that in the last days, even
the very elect will be deceived. There is a great battle for the souls of every
living human. We don't have time to get caught in the snares of people around us
who are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Heavenly Father, oh
how we need the gift of discernment. Forgive us for being complacent about about
the world around us. Give us the true sense of the urgency that exists in this
world of deception that will take us to eternal darkness. Help us be aware of
those around us who seem wonderful on the outside, but have deep hatred and
bitterness in their hearts. We trust in You, Lord, to fill us with Your Holy
Spirit that will guide us into all truth. In Jesus' name we
pray, Amen.
