Pride and Ego says my way is better than yours and what I have you have to have, whether you want it or not. One of the biggest problems in the world is pride on one side and deception on the other. Unfortunately many people do not have the ability to discern what is right and what is wrong. Deception that has long been happening in the political and business world, is now happening in the church today. To protect and guard ourselves from deception and falsehoods, the Lord commands us to meditate on the bible day and night.
Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
We we study and meditate on the word of God, we will receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will enable us to discern what is true and what is false. If we meditate on God’s word, think about what Jesus said and obey him, we will find that our chances of being deceived and tricked will be much less and very slim.
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
