96 Jeremiah 10:10-16 The Long War Against Truth
JMD Devotional 96 Jeremiah 10:10-16 The Long War Against Truth
But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation. Thus shall you say to them: The gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens. God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and by His understanding and skill stretched out the heavens. When He utters His voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind out from His treasuries and from His storehouses. Every man has become like a brute, irrational and stupid, without knowledge [of God]; every goldsmith is brought to shame by his graven idols; for his molten images are frauds and falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
They are devoid of worth, usefulness, or truth, a work of delusion and mockery; in their time of trial and punishment they shall [helplessly] perish. The Portion of Jacob [the true God on Whom Israel has a claim] is not like these, for He is the Fashioner and Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance--the Lord of hosts is His name.
The media is very two-faced when it comes to religion. They elevate any occult, Wiccan, New Age, pantheistic, primitive, pagan tribal practices and profess them to be equal to any other belief system yet they consistently berate any mainstream, long-established Judeo-Christian moral conviction. They won't touch the principles behind our beliefs with a ten-foot pole because they know a rational match of wits will expose their superficial stands. Our faith is not blind; it is based on six thousand years of testimony and on countless changed lives that have improved by following scriptural guidelines. There is no other religion worthy of entering the boxing ring to contend with us. They actually have no love or admiration of these other religions; it is just a veil for their hatred of the truth. The Russian saying proves true: "There is no truth in the news, and no news in the truth."
Amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves in the [city] gate [holding him as an abomination and rejecting his rebuke], and they abhor him who speaks uprightly.
Dear God,
It is a good thing my personal power is limited; because I feel like lambasting and shaking some sense into this retched world system; but that is your domain, vengeance belongs to You. I am righteously offended by the slander, misinformation and distortions of those who hate the Truth. Please hasten the day when EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW before my Lord Jesus Christ and confess Him as THE LORD. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Please help me to contain my anger, and channel it into constructive work for your kingdom.
Amen
