How easily we become deceived. Knowing the truth sets us free the problem is we can be deceived into thinking we are not free. While I do many 'good things' for God they don't necessarily bring me into an intimate relationship with Him. In order to be intimate I have to get into His Word, pray and obey. I Peter 5:8 says Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. It's interesting that the devil is depicted as a roaring lion. They are fierce and vicious. I saw a National Geographic show that captured a lion hunting its prey. Once it attacked it was very startling to me. It was very patient; watchful and targeted the weakest link. That's exactly what satan does to us.
I often wonder how people can be so far mislead to follow a David Koresh or a Hitler. God gave us a moral compass that directs us to Him. Although sometimes we decide to turn it upside down and go the opposite direction. The compass will always point you in the right direction but we have to trust it to guide us. God will never steer us wrong. He will lead us into abudant living. You Word is a lamp to my feet and a light on my path. Psalm 119:105 Keep your eyes focused on God and it will be difficult for satan to deceive you.
My eyes are open wide and I'm taking my cues from God.
