Irrespective of our different belief, race and religion this ugly man called "LIES" tend to fight for domination in our lives.
You might feel you never tell lies but check deep down you would find out that he lives right inside of you or possibly you have by the grace of God overcome it
It is a simple truth that even the religious leaders are sometimes found wanting and subsequently try to screen themselves so as not to be found wanting.
Yes we are humans and we face temptations everyday but the fact still remains that we could be clean and possibly win the battle.
I know temptations comes in different sizes and phases but I still believe that according to "1 Corinthians 10:13 CEV You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and HE will show you how to escape from your temptations."
With this I feel and have the confidence that irrespective of the difficult condition we are faced with, there is always a slim possible option to stand tall.
Sometimes we are forced to tell white lies which we consider to be normal or possibly lies that don't really hurt anyone. But the truth is that the Bible is 100% against it.
You never can tell, as soon as you let Him (LIES) in, He starts building and laying foundations little by little and soon WHITE LIES becomes so severe that you might find it very difficult to tell the truth anymore.
You might feel you are being smart but gradually it:
- Corrupts every other part of you
- Causes a spiritual stunted growth
- Turns into bigger sins and finally
- Robs us of an intimate relationship with God.
This words are not mine but God's word. I really cant say about other religion but I still believe there might be a different version of this same piece in your Holy book which tries to encourage the faith of believers.
Please feel free to share possible verses or scriptures which encourages endurance irrespective of the temptations (irrespective of your religion).
Thanks for reading the WORD
