(Nuggets from Psalm 119:128)
The Psalmist expresses a high level of regard for God's precepts/words here, showing the INSPIRATION, MORAL PERFECTION, INFALLIBILITY, and AUTHORITY of God's word. He further showcases the word of God as a MORAL TEACHER that begets hostility to evil, planting LOVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS and HATRED FOR INIQUITY in the life of any genuine child of God.
The essence of God's word is to dispel every form of darkness, illumine the heart, and make it devoid of lies and falsehood.
Lies rarely show up loudly. They slip in quietly through comparison, culture, or the voice in your own head. In the garden, the serpent didn’t begin with an attack; he began with a question: “Did God really say…?” Unfortunately, he still uses this strategy till today; just a whisper of doubt, a small suggestion that seems safe and normal, evil masked with what appears to be good.
The world feeds us with lies at a very high speed, and these lies settle deep when we don’t question them. Eve didn’t fall because she was weak; she fell because the lie sounded close enough to the truth.
Unlearning lies begins with recognizing them, and how best can you recognize a lie if you do not scan it with the word of God?
The bible exposes every lie and it is your safest and most reliable resort if you are willing to know the truth on any matter. Society or global standards should not be your yardstick of measurement or determinant of what is TRUE OR FALSE. In every instance, look through the lens of God's word to know the next step to take and the right decision to make.
Thoughts are that potent and have the propensity to shape how you see yourself. Without relying on God's word, it becomes very easy to accept a lie as truth and run with it.
Many of the lies we carry didn’t start with us, but they can end with us if we fail to depend on God's word.
To hate every false way is to hate every form of falsehood, every lie, every appearance of evil, every form of deception, and abhor those that propagate them, keeping them at bay.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
