” THEY PRAISE ME TO MY FACE BUT CURSE ME IN THEIR HEARTS.” PSALM 62:4
Words are so easy to come by. They are very easy to say. It is important that we understand that the world today is focused upon itself, and those who are of the world are focused upon themselves. People will sometimes say anything to get their way. They will spew out words of praise before us when in reality they dislike us or even hate us. We sometimes make the mistake of listening to words and taking them for what they are. Words can be loving, praising, caring and helpful, or they can be hateful and hurtful. They can be the truth, or they can be lies. They can be misinterpreted and taken for something they really are not. When we are dealing with others it is important that we watch the tree itself. We should see what kind of fruit the tree is producing. Is it saying one thing but living a life that is quite contrary? It is how we live that shows the world who we are. We must be strong and be able to stand up for what we believe. We must stand up with great faith and trust in our God in heaven. We must ask and trust our Lord to help us to discern our way through this world. He will help us to work our way through the jungle of life. He loves us and will never abandon us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
