The World of Many Voices

The World of Many Voices…

Good morning,

Today, let’s explore how to navigate with wisdom in a world of many voices.

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly, they are ferocious wolves.     Matthew 7:15

In our information-saturated world, we’re bombarded with messages from all directions. Social media influencers, self-help gurus, and even some religious leaders promise quick fixes and easy paths to success and happiness. Jesus’ warning about false prophets is more relevant than ever.

But how do we discern truth from deception? It starts with knowing God’s word deeply. When we’re rooted in scripture, we develop a spiritual “taste” for truth. It’s like how a bank teller learns to spot counterfeit bills by studying real ones.

We also need to look beyond words to actions. Are the fruits of a teacher’s life in line with God’s character? Do they point to Jesus or to themselves?

This isn’t about becoming cynical but about growing in wisdom. It’s okay to question and to seek godly counsel. Remember, the Holy Spirit is our ultimate guide, helping us navigate this complex world.

Today, let’s commit to discerning followers of Christ, wise as serpents and innocent as doves, always seeking His truth above all else.

Heavenly Father, In this age of information overload, I confess it’s easy to be misled. Open my eyes to recognize the truth of Your Word and help me to discern those who speak it faithfully. Fill me with the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, that I may not be deceived by false voices or empty promises. Give me a heart that craves Your truth above all else. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
