Throughout history, people have been manipulated by the smooth talkers of the world. They vie for our attention to sell us joy and happiness, only to leave us feeling empty and cheated, never good enough.

Truth and wisdom do not come with sex appeal and get-rich quick schemes. God’s truth withstands the test of time and goes through the flames and comes out pure and refined like silver and gold in the crucible. God’s truth resurrects from the ashes and from the cross and tomb. God’s truth gives us healing from sin and freedom from the lies of the world. God’s word plants our souls securely in the love of God and makes us truly whole.
Application: Lord, help me to seek you and your truth and not be caught in persuasive deceptions.
One Word: Seek God’s word
