During my younger days we lived in an old farmhouse, and the water supply came from a well far beyond its prime. The rusty water made it difficult to drink, as well as keep clothing, sinks, and the bathtub clean. Replacing the filter on the well helped, but only for a short time. Sediment and rust would quickly overwhelm the system. The battle continued until my parents had enough money to dig a new deeper well to reach a clean and clear supply of water. Society filters through a world-view tainted by the enemy’s lies, clogged by anger, self-righteousness, pride, self-justification, personal agendas, and greed. Be careful to examine how you filter your view of God, life, and who you are. Obstructions can be in place from early childhood by family, friends, and what others believe, whisper, scream, or pronounce. Regardless of how messy your past, how messy your current situation, how overwhelming life may seem, God’s clean, clear, truth filters away the rust and sediment from the enemy’s lies. Regardless of what the world and society thinks, says, or does, the only way to find the clear, clean Truth is in the truth of God’s word. Regardless of what others have said about you, pronounced about you, did to you, spoke over you… God’s truth is that you are God’s beloved child and He loves you. True freedom exists in God’s truth, in the reality of who you are in Christ. Check your filter. Daily. Moment-by-moment. Your thoughts are under attack, your perception of yourself and others are under attack. Check, check, and double-check to make sure what you believe and what you know about yourself and others are filtered through God’s truth … and The Truth will set you free ~ Lisa Buffalo.
