One-minute read.
We live in a world full of lies that people not only believe but dig their heels into and refuse to consider any other possibilities. But we do have hope. In time, God reveals an undeniable truth that even the most extreme opponents can’t deny. Praying for eyes to see and ears to hear the Lord’s truth becomes our best defense against the enemy’s ploys.
Recently, I learned the term “Soldier Mindset:” people defend what they already believe against what they see as threats. I’ve done this myself; ask my husband, who constantly challenges me. As a result, I’ve learned to develop a “Growth Mindset:” exploring and accepting new ideas.
Instead of forcing my beliefs on others, I ask questions and try to understand their position. Then, when the opportunity arises, I plant seeds of truth, praying that they will take root. But ultimately, I leave them in God’s hands, knowing He reveals truth to us all in His sovereignty.
Seek the Creator for truth. He will reveal it to you. No one lies to us more than we lie to ourselves. With the Savior on our side, He reveals the truth in love, helping us become more like Him and less like the world.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for revealing the truth, drawing us closer to You, and enabling us to share it with others. Please reveal any lies we believe, giving us eyes to see and ears to hear You.
IJNIP. Amen
