God’s Word for Today - 16 Dec 2023
John 8:44 KJV — Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 16 Dec 2023
It is often said that truth is hard and it is bitter. An undeniable fact about truth is that truth always prevails. In the end truth triumphs. It is surprising however that folks love to embrace lies for the temporary, albeit false sense of satisfaction they derive from being lied to. The sad fact is that many lives have been destroyed by the lies they chose to embrace. In my view the most damaging are lies propagated in the name of Christ by false pastors and church leaders. Today's scripture makes us understand that those who indulge in that are ambassadors of Satan who is the father of lies and all liars. If you indulge in distorting God's Word, you are treading a dangerous path that leads to eternal banishment to hell. If you would rather be told lies because you find it hard to accept the truth, you are preparing a place for yourself in the lake of fire. Please choose today what you desire your end to be.
Pray: Father, give me grace to detest the lying tongue and abhor all lies and liars. Help me to hold on to Your truth alone. #Mok
