Deception offers ugly wares,
Packaged in appealing wrap.
It reaches out in myriad ways
Unwary souls to gain and trap.
Oftentimes if we are seeking
Something new and fresh and bright,
This ugly pest is just there waiting
To distract us with it's "light".
Deception tries to sow it's seeds
And offer us alternative,
To draw us off God's chosen path
And blur our thoughts on how to live.
But God is so much greater and
Is able to fulfill our joy
When we keep our eyes on Him
And all His principles employ.
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
James 4:7 KJV
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
I John 4:4 KJV
