Thoughts on Today's Verse...

While we wait for God's great victory for us to be fully realized, we also need to know that we are in a very intense battle. Our most brutal struggles are not with flesh and blood people, but spiritual powers and wickedness in spiritual places (Ephesians 6:10-12). These evil powers often use "false apostles, deceitful workers" and people "masquerading" as Jesus' servants (2 Corinthians 11:13). God will win this battle with all who are false through Jesus Christ when he returns. The outcome is certain. Jesus won that battle on the cross (Colossians 2:15), and he will return and reign until every one of his enemies is defeated (1 Corinthians 15:24-25). Christ has already won, however, let's not be fooled; the evil one will do everything possible to deceive all people, use false teachers, and confuse the lost. Let's stick with God's plan - living his truth, listening for his voice in Scripture, and following the lead of his Spirit (1 John 2:20-27).

My Prayer...

Holy Lord, please give me the ability to discern truth and resist the deception of Satan and those he uses to teach us false things and lead us astray. Please empower me with your Spirit and give me your wisdom to discern what is true, right, and holy as I seek to live victoriously for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
