Today's Devotional was shared by Jenny. Thank you, Jenny 💖 for sharing this provocative devotional! Definitely important to consider in order to avoid the tricks of the enemy!
There's a story told of a girl who got caught up in watching a magic show while at the mall with her dad. She bawled like a burst pipe as the magician sliced a woman in half.
"It's OK, honey," her father said. "That woman didn't really get cut in half. It's just a trick. Let's go meet the magician, and he'll show you the woman is OK."
After the show the father escorted his girl to the stage. "Excuse me, sir, but your sawing trick greatly disturbed my daughter, Chelsea. Surely you will tell her that cutting a person in two is a trick, won't you?"
"Well--uh--of course the woman is OK and now in one piece . . ."
"But please show Chelsea that the woman is safe."
After 15 minutes of haggling, the magician surrendered his secret like a monkey giving up his last banana. "Of course she's OK. She is right there."
Because his assistant had changed out of her costume, however, the girl didn't recognize the woman. Ironically, even after the magician walked the girl through a step-by-step drill of the trick, the kid wouldn't buy it. Seeing the real thing did not equate to believing it.
Isn't it amazing how we can refuse to believe what is so clearly real? For example, science keeps documenting the deadly effects of tobacco, yet people still smoke. In a world swarming with sexually transmitted diseases some people remain as promiscuous as ever. Even now, as hundreds of thousands of people die from this virus, people refuse to take the advice of experts!
The Bible has been around for centuries and has proven itself to be the most trustworthy guideline for living. Nevertheless, many people ignore its counsel. They refuse to believe that it was written by a loving God to lead His people through this sometimes difficult life on earth.
Why? Because we tend to believe the magic trick rather than the evidence. Remember that the enemy of souls has been playing tricks on God's people since The Beginning. Don't fall for the tricks...believe in the only One who has proven Himself believable always.
There are never any tricks with God. 🙏🏽
Thank You Jenny for sharing! Wow. Lord help me not to fall for the enemy‘s trick today .🙏🏽
