REPEATED THEME

Today's reading: Jeremiah 22-26

"But stop using this phrase, 'prophecy from the Lord.' For the people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord Almighty." Jeremiah 23:36 NLT

Yesterday's verse spoke to my heart about the need for us to be in the Word of God, and today's? Well, today's verse gives a prime example as to why we need to do just that!

We have to know God's Word in order to tell when we are being told a lie about it.

We have to have enough of the Bible in our hearts and heads and lives to be able to distinguish when its words are being twisted, manipulated and being wrongly used.

We have to spend time in the Holy Bible so that the Holy Bible can infiltrate our thoughts and intentions.

Too many people are taking bits and pieces of the Bible and using it to suit their intended purposes.

Let us, God's children, be so well versed in His Word that we can spot counterfeit messages a mile off!
