Lies.....

I found myself recently embracing a lie. Why....I don't know. I also have watched at time my children do the same. I hate lies. I live for TRUTH! Truth for many, many years has been at the core of who I am. Yet I can see that at times I still buy a lie. Years ago I lived believing certain lies. At the time I didn't realize to the full extent that I was doing it but I was. The Lord loved me enough to pull out from under me the very thing that in the end was going to let me down. I wasn't standing on Him and His truths and if I am not doing that what do I really have? Nothing! I have been reminded that we are in a battle and that daily we must fight to walk in truth. The enemy is so sneaky. He does it inch by inch, little by little and starts to fill us with doubt and mistruths. He knows that if we say that is a apple and he says that is a orange we will not believe it. But if bit by bit we start letting go of truth he can inch his way in. I am going to tighten the ship up a bit in my household to guard against this. I know it has to begin in my own heart. Often times when I believe a lie I have something to gain from that. But truly at what cost?
