Swayed

Jan14

Amplified Bible Translation:

With smooth words[of flattery and praise] he will turn to godlessness those who [are willing to] disregard the [Mosaic] covenant, but the people who [are spiritually mature and] know their God will display strength and take action [to resist]. 
Daniel 11:32 AMP
https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/Amplified-Bible-AMP/

How vulnerable are you to smooth words that distort the truth of God? Do you know the Word well enough to recognize a smooth talker from a truth teller? How well do you know God?

Are you one who knows God and will stand strong and take action or will you be swayed?

🌹By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.

Settling

And he (Satan) led Him (Jesus) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (the inhabited earth) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Valuable

Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:29-30 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.10.29-30.NASB1995

Can you even imagine God, the Creator of all that exists, from the smallest molecule to the unending universe, knows the very number of hairs on your head? An intimate God who knows you, His creation, inside and out, and cares enough to desire your well-being from your past to your future, and your life right now. You are valuable to Him. Will you surrender your life to Jesus and let Him lead you? Will you open the Bible and learn to walk with Him? You are valuable to God.

My hope in this New Year is for you to have a new and refreshing relationship with the One who values you the most.

🌹Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.
