KNOW YOUR SOURCE

I get judgmental about how much time of life people give to Facebook and other social media. They look at it a lot. They let the things they see there tell them what the world is like.

We all look to other things to tell us what the world is like. We need to inspect carefully the source of what we are looking at, or what we are listening to.

It is helpful to think: do they want something from you; do they want you to act a certain way; do they want to define certain things for you; do they want your health or your destruction? Do they want to give you something helpful; do they want to take away something from you; do they want you to come with them or do they want you to disappear?

Everything has a reason for being. What is that reason; what is its purpose? Humans have a real reason for being, and they have a reason they imagine for themselves, which may have no relation to the real, actual reason.

“But evil people and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them . . .” (2 Tim 3:13, 14)
