Everything done in the dark will eventually come out in the light. We all go through things and do things; that are not right. We try to conceal what makes us look bad. Some pretend they have things they never even had. All to display an image, some probably should get.
I've heard people say that it was all to save face. To ease causing pain to someone they love. Usually, just making things worst. Placing deceit upon hurt. Or straight up deceit. Causing people to act, react or believe what they want them to believe. Sometimes it may just be something, their trying to achieve. Either way it’s a form of deceit. Of course a lie is a lie and no one wants to be deceived.
There are many reasons people get into this kind of thinking. But everyone knows there's a reaction to every action. So bits and pieces are given. Revealing only a fraction of what's really the truth. Leaving out the details of an issue or the things we do. Because we feel in our heart the intent may not be understood. But, when you think about it. Does this give birth to a problem? Or, is it all for the good?
Most people have a natural instinct or sense of deceit. So, it’s not very useful, when the person afflicted; is aware that it's there. It takes a bigger person not to be part of this stuff. But gain true insight from heaven above in seeking Gods Kingdom first.
In this being part of the Kingdom of Love. We should be able to discern truth and what's really going on. Just like Christ knew Judas would betray him before it was done.
This may be hard to achieve when you don't know what to believe. Even more so, when you deny the truth within. Because it's something you don't want to see. So many choose to act as though, they don't know. But you can know this for sure. Wrong won't last long. Because the Father is the Author. He composes the music. Creates the stage and closes the curtains on every play. Revealing truth in an undeniable way.
So remember God is not dead. Jesus Christ arose from the dead. There is no body in that grave. He is the high counselor. He is the Living Word. The Spirit of Truth and the only way.
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Colossians 1: 13-14
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Mark 4: 22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Ephesians 22: 22
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and has been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 2 Timothy 3: 13-14
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come. John 16: 13
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. John 8: 32
For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. John 13:11

Daily Dose
Because we are human, living in a world of sin and turmoil. We should acknowledge the truth in all that we are and all that we do. We may not be where we were. But we're not where we gotta get, yet.
Every day we live. We need vaccination from this world's contamination. Being inflicted with sin we need that cure in order to be pure. Daily injection of Christ is the only thing that will make us whole. Renew our mind, cleanse our heart and save our soul.
As I opened my eyes this morning. The rest of me had to catch up to actually see the day dawning. Just to experience the free choice and will, I've been blessed to receive with the love and care I've been given to give, is a cause to pause and give recognition with praise to the creator of all. Though some days I forget. And some days seem rushed and somewhat chaotic. I know when my focus is God. There is no stress or chaos about it.
All that I do and all that I am. I pray it be based on what the Father commands. Because he is the one, I must call on, time and time again. He opens the door when you feel locked out and can't go in anymore. He opens the window of our heart so were not overwhelmed with despair. He breathes in new life and fresh air. Cleansing our soul and renewing our mind. So we can keep up and are not left behind.
I must say, it’s not surprising, how we easily get caught up in ourselves and the cares of this world. We forget our purpose, what were made of, and what we’re here for. Just like the people of Israel in the bible days. We have the same ways. Our God is the one we should be caught up in. Because he is the one that brings deliverance. We all need to get up with our very first love. The omnipotent one. Our creator and maker.
A good place to begin is in the realm of humility. Where we humble ourselves through confession. Realizing we're no better than the next one. Taking spiritual medicine to cure the disease of a spirit in need, may have a requirement to go in to the deep. Far beyond physical necessities. Leaving behind such things as pride or the ego boost that cause you to get loose. And we all know anything loose will eventually fall. So instead of just hanging. Tighten up what's loose and let God do a work in you.
Now ye are cleansed through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. John 15: 3-5
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that rare in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:15-17
Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6: 11
And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 9: 23
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Luke 9: 25
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. Proverbs 22: 4
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2: 6-8
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. Exodus 16: 2-3
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1John 1: 9-10

Focused
Being focused is a conscious decision. For some, it's naturally given. But from my experience. It's rare for many, including myself. It's a conscious decision. Not naturally given.
So as we go through our day. We need to be sure and have our priorities straight. Because there's an enemy out there trying to take, whomever he can take. Than lead as many as possible; outside the way. Using all kind of tactics. Bringing chaos, confusion and conflict throughout the day. To the point where you have no choice but say “I need your help Lord. Help me to be, or go the right way” Than open up spiritual eyes, to focus on God. If you wish to abide in peace and his everlasting love. That's why.
Remember, if it’s not a part of the solution. It's a part of the problem. Some things we do. We should not even bother. Because our primary focus should be aimed towards our heavenly Father.
Doing the things he's called us to do, can sometimes determine whether we win or lose. As Son or Daughter of the King, There is an order, a perspective. A responsibility to the follow through with the orders that God has given you. Just like a soldier. We're in the army of God. We must follow through. If, we are to get, where we got to get to. Our ambitions and goals should be on the same accord with the living Word. In that, our prayers are answered and our voice is heard.
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Colossians 4:2
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37: 5
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4: 10
Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the good man of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Matthew 24:42-44
