“Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not yourselves…”
Jere 37:9
Deception
often gives you what you want in the beginning, but will always fail you in the
end. “The greatest deception man suffers from is their own opinion.” This comes
about when you see the truth, know the truth, but still act on your own desire.
Avoid reasoning as your source of guidance; knowing it opens the door to
deception and confusion. Rather seek the truth “Sow to yourself in righteousness,
reap in mercy...” (Hosea 10:12). Notice you reap in proportion to His
mercy, not what proportion you have sown. The capacity and fullness of the
mercy of God; which is boundless overlooks man’s failings, and gives an
infinite reward for imperfect labor.
The
allure that comes by deception is like an iceberg, there’s more to it than what
you see.
