Being Deceived

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the servant’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Observation: I am often deceived sometimes from Satan and other times because I want to be deceived. I want something so bad I can convince myself that it’s from God but it’s not. When God calls me to do something for him I can justify in my mind I tried and it didn’t work out because it’s to much work or I rather do something else. I am to easily swayed away from my purpose and God’s will for my life.

Application: To test the decisions I make and what I do with God’s word. He has made it easy to do his desires opposed to mine. Stay focused on God’s plan for my life and be careful not to be deceived.

Prayer: Dear Lord guide me each day to do your will. Give me strength and discernment on following you. May I not be led astray but put on the path you set before me.
