Old Tricks, New Presentation

The schemes of the Enemy have not changed. He still whispers lies and twists Truth to convince us that :

a) God cannot be trusted and

b) His ways are not the best.

In every temptation, there is a deception about the character and motive of God, plus an attractive promise of a better way.

The world is filled with voices that vie for our attention and influence our thoughts and actions. Consciously begin to compare them to what the Scripture says about God and His ways.
Remembering what God says in the Bible is our safeguard against deception and temptation.

Daily devotions won't protect us if they're quickly forgotten during the day. Follow Christ's example: be ready with truth in your mind and on your tongue whenever temptation strikes (Matt. 4:1-11). Seek and expect the help of the Holy Spirit to keep you alert with the Word.
