God Today Devotions Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8 Well-presented words can paint a beautiful picture that is tempting to grasp but can be a distortion of the truth. Mankind tends to create philosophies and hold onto traditions not necessarily based on the truth of Jesus Christ. Jesus reveals His truth to us and teaches us His ways. We are surrounded every day by empty philosophies that's teachings are absolutely opposite from the teaching of Christ. We have a responsibility to recognize the voice of our Shepherd. Just because words are spoken doesn't necessarily make them true. When we receive a word from Jesus it pierces our soul and opens our eyes. No amount of words, regardless of how well presented can distort or sway us from that truth. Prayer As I walk day-by-day following your truth my perspective remains clear. You are my shepherd. Teach me to listen for the sound of your voice. You are faithful and in your word I place my trust. Amen. To subscribe to the GodToday
