Blanket of Deception

 

In North Korea, a blanket of propaganda and lies has settled over the nation, blocking out the truth and deceiving many.  In Russia, a similar blanket has lowered over the populace, spinning out propaganda which distorts and denies truth. Autocrats around the world lie to their people, telling horror stories of the enemy and fueling a ‘them and us’ mentality.

The one in the west who voiced accusations of fake news is now the voice raised most often in promulgating it.

But this blanket of lies is not fire-proof.

The light is in the world, and the darkness cannot overcome it. May the fire of the Holy Spirit of truth flame brightly in the hearts of all who love Jesus, who is the Way and the Truth and the Life. And may that holy fire expose and totally incinerate those untruths being spread by the father of lies.

Lord Jesus, open hearts and minds and spirits to hear and see you, to receive you with joy and to serve you with courage and perseverance today.
