Crystal Clear Choices

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

The truth leaves no room for tolerance.  There is no room for variance.  Something is true or it is not.

Satan's fingerprints are all over the complexity of issues that we deal with daily in this world. His tactics are simple.  Satan builds in layers of grey around the truth. His minions, especially the media, work hard to confuse us.  They attempt to build layers of grey around good and evil.  They try to make us see elements of evil as good and elements of good as evil.

When our focus is on Jesus Christ, our lives become much simpler.  He that dwells within us is the essence of everything good and the absence of evil.  He is Truth. Living in Truth is very cut and dry. Simplicity in life is found by living in the light of Christ.  From this standpoint, we can see, believe in and adhere to the crystal clear choices offered by the teachings of Jesus.

Let us seek the Truth in all matters.  Let us avoid being swayed into believing that the truth lies anywhere in the shades of grey that the world offers.  Let us seek the Light of the World to reveal any darkness in our lives.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for revealing the way, the truth and the life that is Your Son, Jesus. We praise the name of Jesus for modeling the good and perfect life that we should strive for.  We rejoice in knowing that our choices in life are easy when we abide in Our Savior.  We pray, Father, that the Holy Spirit will provide the wisdom that we need to discern the proper choices that we need to make in life for ourselves and our families. May we learn to live in the light and shut the door on the darkness that the world offers.  We ask all these things in the name of the True Light, Jesus Christ.
