False Adverting

Have you ever noticed that some TV commercials mix just enough truth with their product to make it believable? While that's called false advertising, the product still comes off convincing. It's not until we purchase the product, and it fails, that the deceit is exposed.
In the same way, Satan specializes in false advertising. He's good at making our fears look real when they are not. Does that mean all fears are untrue? No.  He does in fact seduce/trick us into thinking that God is not loving nor cares for us when we are facing challenges-Of course the opposite is in fact the Truth.  There is a song I like called ‘Voice of Truth’ by the Christian group, Casting Crowns.  It’s chorus says, “But the voice of truth tells me a different story--And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"--And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"--Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.  Let’s not be deceived by Satan’s influence like Eve and Adam and so many others-including those times in our own lives.  May we always seek to listen to God/Jesus-the voice of truth.  Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
