Therefore, we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

Ephesians 4:14 NLT Bible

Children can be easily influenced and led astray. This verse cautions us to be mature and grounded in our beliefs in Christ Jesus. We live in an age when false doctrines are being spread in subtle and enticing ways and it's somewhat easy to be taken in by it all. Everywhere we turn, we can see or hear some new teaching that promises peace and love to all, but in actuality, has an underlying message that is contrary to the Word of God. We must be aware that false teachings are always 'sugar coated' to appear appealing and attractive, but its sole purpose is to cause children of God to turn away from their faith and core beliefs.

We can guard ourselves from being influenced by these clever and subtle lies by constantly meditating on God's Word, allowing His truths to permeate our hearts and minds and by being wise and careful about the things we watch or listen to. We also need to ask God for a discerning spirit, so that we will be able to recognize false doctrines. It is vital for us to keep our eyes on God, to spend time in fellowship and communion with Him, so that we will not fall victim to the ploys of the enemy but will remain rooted and firm in our belief in Almighty God.

Thank you, Lord for Your Word. May I be faithful in studying The Word diligently and keeping Your truths in my heart and mind so that I will never be taken in by false doctrines. Help me to always stand up for my faith. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Bless
