Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!1 Corinthians 3:18-20~Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile
Sometimes we are tricked by our mind to maneuverer some activities and let them lie in deception. Well, God wants to let you know that there is no need for that.
Even our intents are open before His eyes. He has placed a spirit in us in order to search our hearts. Proverbs 20:27~The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all his innermost parts
A good percentage of our restlessness come from the things we have hidden in our lives. You may have to unravel the secrets which you have kept over the years. You may want to meet a counselor for that burden.
But why do we keep giving ourselves into craftiness when we know fully well that it takes away our peace?
You do not have to live by the wisdom of this world. Anybody living by the wisdom of this world while in consecration is considered a child. And he can never grow out of his personal troubles.
Salvation of Jesus is capable of bringing peace to our souls only when we can present ourselves transparently unto consecration; having no hidden envy, no jealousy, no unforgiven spirit, no bias, no slandering, no division.
These things confuse the devil so much about the life of a believer. The devil might have to keep watch till eternity for where to establish his judgment in your life if you appear with a chaste heart, free from manipulations.
Meditation
O God, I desire that your salvation bring impactful peace into my soul, therefore, as I identify the crafts in my soul which were brought about by human wisdom; help me to remove them.
