"Be Wise in God"

Scripture:

Colossians 2:8
Don’t let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy
and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking
and from the basic principles of this world, and not from Christ. (NLT)

Observation:

Much like it was in the first century AD (and even more so today) we are still bombarded with the shallow, simplistic, and satanic speculations, ideologies, philosophies, and religions that try to deny the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Application:

What the world view deems foolish, in reality, is wisdom in its purest form—having come from the Creator of life Himself (Isaiah 44:24-25). There are multitudes of false teachers in our educational systems and in our churches throughout the world that are teaching only man-made facts and ideologies to the masses, leaving out the truth of who Christ is and how we should live our lives here in this life if we want to prosper in the next. Although the evilness of such deceit is spreading ramped all over the world, we can trust fully in the LORD our God that His Church is not only destined to survive, but will one day reign with King Jesus (Revelation 20:6) until all things are renewed and made perfect. Do not be fooled (1 Corinthians 3:19-20), my friends, for there is only One Truth that will free you from the falsehood and fate of this world. Do not be robbed of the glory that is found only in Christ Jesus our LORD and Savior. The world view will only lead you to death and eternal punishment, but the Christ centered view will lead you to everlasting life and rewards you cannot begin to imagine.

Prayer:

Dear LORD, with all the deceit that fills this fallen world, I ask You to help me keep my focus on the You, the Truth for Life. Even though my life is grounded in Your Truth, it can be so easy to fall for the lies of the Enemy. Protect Your children LORD God, and help us in our quest to remain faithful in You.

Amen
