Don't Be Deceived

HonorBound Devotion: March 11, 2010

Read James 1:16 – Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers.

Sometimes men can be so gullible. As men of God, we must test everything we plan to build our life around. No man would swing from a mountain on ropes that were not tried. I don’t think a man would fly an airplane that was not proven. No man would enter a ship that was not sea worthy. So why do so many of us cast our eternal lives on principles untried and unproven? Your faith must hold you and your family in the most trying times of life. If the source of your faith fails then your faith is useless. A source of faith that cannot hold up to your questions and tests is not one to cast your life on. As a man of God don’t be deceived by what sounds, looks or feels good. Be faithful to drill down into what you believe to see if it is really good!
