Many people are deceived because they neglect God’s Word and prefer messages that satisfy their own desires. The safest protection against deception is a daily relationship with Christ and a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. Ask God for discernment so that you may recognize truth from error. Those who remain in God’s Word will remain in His truth. Scriptural Readings for the Day Hosea 4:6A (KJV) “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee…” Matthew 22:29 (KJV) “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” John 8:31-32 (KJV) “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Prayer Lord, increase my understanding of Your Word. Keep me from deception and help me to walk in the light of Your truth. Amen.
