Why do people believe lies as truth and truth as lies? Have you ever wondered why people tend to believe lies as truth and truth as lies? It’s a perplexing phenomenon that we see all around us. We live in a world where misinformation and deceit can spread rapidly, while facts and evidence are often overlooked or dismissed. It’s time to start questioning our beliefs and seek the truth. Let’s challenge ourselves to think critically and examine the evidence before accepting anything as true. Only then can we hope to distinguish between what is real and what is not, and make informed decisions based on facts rather than falsehoods.

Galatians 6:7-8 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

God is very adamant about being sober-minded. Think about it, an intoxicated person is under the influence of alcohol.  Influence is the power to sway someone into going a certain way.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:8 KJV 

When we allow the worries and troubles of life to consume us, we become mentally intoxicated and our ability to be alert diminishes. Therefore, it is important to stay mindful and conscious of our surroundings, even during chaos. Only then can we tackle the challenges of life with a clear mind and a focused approach.

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 KJV

Let us seek truth with all our hearts!

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 KJV
