THE ROAD SIGNS

"All warfare is based on deception." - Unknown 

In our world today, 'deception' is the order of the day. Companies, in their product adverts employ some level of deception - in varying degrees - with the sole aim of 'seducing' viewers to purchase such items. In the garden of Eden, it's what led to the fall of man. So, today we're either being deceived or we're deceiving others. What side are you on?

In World War II, during the Battle of the Bulge, there was a group of German soldiers who dressed themselves in the uniforms of the Allies. These German soldiers used American military vehicles and went through the German countryside changing the road signs. When the American troops came to the various crossroads, they were often fooled, and led off in the wrong direction.
This deception by the Germans almost gave them the victory - in this very decisive battle from the second world war.

Just like those German soldiers confused and caused the death of so many, by changing 'just a few signs,' so many of us today are leading millions off into Hell - we're changing some of the road signs of the faith - our dressing, actions, things we do and the places we go. There's a warfare going on, and as Christians, our lives should mirror God's true essence, not the devil's. Is your life pointing people to destruction, or to redemption?

Let us pray: Father, help me to be a right sign post, in Jesus name.
