Lately, the Lord has been showing me the importance of TRUTH in our lives. We are surrounded by lies and deceit. We live in a society that says there is no truth or we can make up our own truth, there are no absolutes--a society of lies. Last year, I did Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) and we studied the book of Isaiah. As I studied it, I was struck by the tactics of the enemy, the tactics of Satan. He uses lies and deceit to attempt to
undermine our faith, to cast doubt in our minds--
doubts of who our God is and what He is capable of--and he attempts to paralyze us with fear so we are ineffective for the work of the Lord. I do not want to see me or any of you to be rendered useless for eternal purposes because we have been deceived by lies, lies from the pit of hell. Our mindset must be focused on TRUTH...the truth of God's character, the truth of God's promises, and the truth of our circumstances.
As this theme of truth keeps raising its head in various aspects of my life and the lives around me, I've decided to do a series of blog posts about truth and what the Lord has been teaching me. I hope in the process, it will be a blessing and a challenge to your hearts as much as it has been to mine!
Stay tuned....tomorrow we will open the word of God to Isaiah 36 and see what we can learn from King Hezekiah and the people of Israel about truth and how it applies to our lives today!

Beautiful! Your blog is lovely. Can't wait to hear what you'll remind us of next!
Some people today have a hard time believing in God, but many people have an even harder time believing that Satan exists. He is alive and well and he is in attack mode. He will hit you where he knows it hurts you most and distracts you from what God wants you to do in your life. Like my husband has said-It's hard to fight a war when you dont even know you're in one. We have to focus daily on what our purpose is. Love the blog by the way. Thanks for posting the info on FB. Miss you Kelly & miss our lunches:)

Thanks, Launa. I'm so glad you stopped by! How do I access YOUR blog!? Its such a fun way to keep up!
Jill, you are right..we are in the midst of war and as christians we don't always act like we are aware. We have to know we are in a war and we have to know who we are fighting! And we must equip ourselves! THanks for sharing your thoughts! Keep stopping by and we must do lunch sometimes! I want to meet those handsome babies of yours! :)
