Deception

How is it that chocolate candy (which cannot speak, hear, see,smell, or touch), can get into my mind and create a craving or desire so strong that I will get off the couch, get in my car, drive in the rain or snow, stand in long lines with complete strangers, and spend my hard-earned money just to have it? What's up with that?

Well friends, our world is a lot like a bar of chocolate. It looks sweet and promising, but its pleasures are temporary, a false hope to those who buy into it. Remember, this world as we now know it is fallen according to God's Holy Word. Be careful of the cravings of this life. Don't be fooled by its draw and attractions. Seek the real Satisfaction; the Savior, the One called Wonderful! Jesus is His name and He is your hope!


Lord Jesus, You satisfy our every desire. Help us not to be caught up in the world's deceptions. When we are in You, we are victors! You are sweet to our lips and soul. Praise Your Name! Amen.
