Delusion or Deliverance?
By Billy Graham
Everywhere we look today, we see the propensity for delusion.
We see this capacity for delusion in politics. When we witness the maneuvering, the use of power, the conniving and the policy of expediency in our political arena, it is no wonder someone has said, “We have the best politicians that money can buy.”
The Apostle Paul said that the people of his day had “changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator” (Romans 1:25). Thus, they became “wise” in doing evil and fell so deep in sin that they began to call evil good.
What a candid picture of modern man: deceived by the promises of demagogues, yet indifferent to the voice of God.
Millions are living as though this were the only life that counted. They have completely lost sight of eternity. Would to God that we would learn to live each day with eternity’s values in view.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Heavenly Father, please open my eyes to the blinding and enslaving effect of any sin in my life so that I may seek Your forgiveness. Grant me Your wisdom and discernment to resist Satan’s deceptive temptation to call evil good. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
