One-minute read.

Current headlines tell the tale of two politicians, friends just a month ago, now bitter enemies. Reading comments, people speculate over the truth of the situation. True or false? Fall out or hoax? Media strategy or actual events? No one knows, only time will tell the truth. The fact that so much falsehood exists in our world makes it hard for anyone to decipher the truth.
However, with God, we can find it. Because His righteous rules stand the test of time, applying them to any situation will bring light to the darkness. Everyone has ulterior motives, myself included. Sometimes, we don’t realize that we have impure intentions. But the Lord will show us our iniquities if we allow Him to search our hearts.
Not only will we discover our shortcomings, but He will help us decipher the truth in other areas. Gaining a master’s in strategic communication taught me the algorithms used to gain attention and build followings. People follow rabbit holes and get lost in lies without even realizing it. We need divine intervention to keep us on the straight and narrow, not falling for the ploys of the world.
Abhor falsehood, seek divine truth. Withhold judgment until God and time reveal the lies. Understand, everyone has a tale to tell, but that doesn’t make it true.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for giving us a compass to discern truth. Please help us apply Your precepts to our lives, allowing You to search our hearts and lead us in the way of truth.
IJNIP. Amen
