“Your own ways and your own actions have brought these things on yourselves. This is your wickedness, so bitter! It has reached your very heart.”
Jeremiah 4:18 CJB
If we are honest, we all know we have wicked thoughts and we need to keep ourselves in check constantly!
“The heart is more deceitful than anything else and mortally sick. Who can fathom it?”
Jeremiah 17:9 CJB
Sadly our hearts can be wicked and what is sadder is we try to justify our wickedness, even with scripture! That is what the enemy does, be careful of the traps of the enemy!
“Now the serpent was more crafty than any wild animal which Adonai, God, had made. He said to the woman, Did God really say, ‘You are not to eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Genesis 3:1 CJB
We all need to be careful of the enemy! Why? Because he is craftier than all of us and is always looking for ways to cast doubt, deceive and cause havoc in our lives!
“Stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a lion looking for someone to devour.”
1 Peter 5:8 CJB
Today, with all the evil in the world and knowing our hearts can be wicked, we need to be very vigilant and on guard!
So pray for people, encourage one another and keep your eyes focused on Adonai!
