It is an unfortunate state of affairs when you cannot believe anything you see or hear. We are not alone in feeling this way. All the way back in biblical times, David felt that way about his circumstances, too, and poured out his heart into a song. This situation is nothing new; consider that our entire history is likely fabricated to disguise reality. What’s worse is that the enemy will tell us the truth in a song or a movie, and then call it a fairytale or fiction. The enemy has overwhelmed us with so much confusion that we can no longer distinguish what is real from what is fake. However, the principalities of earth didn’t take into consideration the power and strength of the Holy Spirit, who makes known the truth about God, so that even though we may not know precisely what is authentic and accurate, we can count on him to point out the fantastic design of creation to give us clues into His deity and so we might discern reality. It’s a shame that we cannot believe what we see and hear anymore, but the Almighty has gifted us with a powerful companion to help us expose all of it. Knock on God’s door every day, asking for discernment and help to sort through the lies with confidence.

A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. Psalms 120:1-2
