3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom;
the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.
4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;
with the harp I will expound my riddle:
5 Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches? Psalm 49:3-6
Do you deal with deception, maybe someone is deceiving you to obtain something they want or need? The tactic of a deceiver can be subtle or outright blatant. The enemy is the true deceiver and one we need to keep an eye out for daily, but how do we handle those around us who decieve. These kinds of actions by others can create an atmosphere of misunderstanding and can lead to pain and frustration. God is very clear about not fearing this type of individual, but turning an ear to the word of God that guides us, as well as the Holy Spirit. If we look at the deceptive tactics of people as one way the enemy can attack, we know that God is there to provide the necessary support and love. When you feel deceived, frustrated, or angry, calm yourself and acknowledge that the Lord is the one who has defeated the enemy and can lift you up. We always have someplace to turn.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
