Both the enemy and "religion" can be used to plant a distorted image of God in our minds. If our minds are not renewed to think in alignment with the truth of God's Word, we may fall prey to these distortions. Our own experiences can contribute to making us more vulnerable to misrepresentations of God's character as well. For example, if our earthly father was temperamental, moody, and hard to please, we can be more prone to thinking of God as inconsistent in character and difficult to please.
God's character is perfect. There is no darkness, no inconsistency or changeableness in His character. There is nothing "shady" about Him. He is good and He does good. Because of His faultless character He can be completely trusted. We can also know with assurance that whatever He gives us will be good and beneficial for us.

That is so true Elizabeth............
ReplyDeleteToday it seems so many want to make up their own truth about who
God is......and of course, much of their thinking is definitely
not grounded in God's word.
Hope you are doing well,
Blessings,
