Lies

One of the devil's biggest lies is that there are no consequences. And he is just as committed to making you believe that about your right choices as he is your wrong ones. He would love to have you believe that doing the right thing makes no difference. He would love to have you believe that doing the wrong thing makes no difference. Yet, in God's universe you reap what you sow--good for good; evil for evil. Satan's lie seems to work in our lives because the consequences are rarely immediate. But I have never made a choice that did not have consequences. Every choice is significant--important. Sadly or joyfully those consequences are often shared by those who love me the most. In fact, God tells us that consequences can affect generations. The devil wants us to believe that God can't or won't hold us accountable when we do wrong or bless us when we choose to obey Him. When I do wrong, I can confess that sin and receive full forgiveness, but there will still be earthly consequences. See the life of David. And when I choose to be obedient to God no matter what is happening in my life--even because of the wrong choices others have made--God will work to turn evil intent into good. See Joseph. See Daniel.
Don't believe the lie. Choose wisely. Live righteously. Trust and obey.
