Bible Verse of The Day – 1-19-17

Isaiah 5:20 (NKJV) 20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

We live in a time where truth and lies have become intermingled to the point where many people can’t tell one from the other any longer.

Truth has been diluted to the point of being almost indistinguishable by many. Lies pass for truth many times. It is a dangerous situation, to say the least.

So how do we know the truth and how do we distinguish and discern lies as they are being propagated as truth? How do we know truth from lies?

The answer? God’s Spirit and God’s Word.

If we walk closely to God, His spirit will show us what’s truth and what’s a lie. The closer we get to God, the easier it will be to discern these things. And if we are ever in doubt, His word will make it plain and clear.

Lies are being shared as truth from so many venues. Movies, musicians, news organizations, politicians, religions, blog and website owners, and even churches are spreading lies as truth. Yes, even churches claiming to be Bible-based.

Money has become a god to many people these days. Spreading information that sounds good, and is shared under the guise of being truth, brings in money for those who spread it. Money isn’t always the motive, but it is the main driver behind this.

So it is up to us to stay close to God and spend time in His word in order to stay sharp and in tune with His Spirit. And as we watch and listen to what goes on around us, we will have the understanding we need in order to know truth when we hear it and see it.

It is up to us. We must not allow ourselves be fooled.
