Good morning all,
The word of the day is “cantrip.” When the church was first
constructed in the old days it was very fragile. The evil one had schemes up his sleeve to
keep the believers from following God’s word. The writers of each of the books
of the New Testament knew that they were up against a great battle, both in the
physical realm as well as the spiritual. In this passage today the apostle Paul
gives us the reason we must always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
“But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent
deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the
simplicity that is in Christ.”
~2 Cor. 11:3
My question is: are you the type of person that makes the
gospel more difficult than what it could be? I guess what I'm saying is that
many of us rely on our own instincts and knowledge to make God's words more
applicable to our lives. When in fact what we really should be doing is keeping
God's word simple by following it… and that's it. My prayer is that you do not
make God's plan for your life more complex, and that you do not believe the
cantrip, or sham that the evil one presents. It is when we take our eyes off of
Jesus that we leave the simplicity of the word.
Praying for you,
Mo
