Abide in the truth.

“Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD God had made… The snake replied, "That's not true; you will not die. God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad." 
Genesis 3:1, 4-5(GNB)

I want you to know that it was satan who spoke through the snake to the woman in our opening scripture. We know this because satan is always rebellious against the word of God. He loves to question the integrity of the word of God, and by so doing, corrupt the heart of his prey with doubt and then lure them with His deceitfulness and their lust.

Satan's primary aim is to see to it that you doubt the word of God. This is because he knows that when you start doubting the word of God, you are vulnerable to deception.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12(GW), the Bible says, “He will use everything that God disapproves of to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them. That's why God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie. Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with what God disapproves of, will be condemned.”

It is important that you know that every step away from the word of God, is a step into deception. So, do not doubt the word of God that you have heard, read and received into your heart.

I pray for you, “That you will stand firm and hold on to these truths which you have been taught in this devotional. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us, strengthen you with his grace and give you unfailing courage and a firm hope. May He encourage you and enable you to always abide in His truth in your thoughts, words and deeds. In Jesus Name. Amen.”
