'Watch Out'

In today's world, it is rather very difficult to find out, which is true and which is fake. Sometimes, truth can get twisted in this life. Things seem blurred, first it may appear black, and white, then gray. It becomes difficult, which is true which one is false. A total blank.

Recently, I was going through some old reader's digest, as I am fond of reading, about plants, animals, and birds. I came, to note there are several insects, and animals which change, their colour, or shape, and size to hide from their predators or sometimes to act as defense. Some are crawlers, some fishes, some birds etc. Out, of which an insect called 'Katydids' and a 'stick insect' attracted my attention. They, are bright green in colour but, they can camouflage into their surrounding plants, and leaves, so; as to hide from other birds, or prey which can kill them. Stick insect, can fool anyone. By observing, it one can just think it to be a stick or a branch.

Many things, which we see in our daily lives, in market, in shops, in the matter of transactions with dealing of money, everything is fake; if not observed clearly. Sometimes, some people also just comes in our life, disguising themselves into someone else.

When I was small,  I liked the story of Red Riding Hood, and I would often listen to it, a fairy tale, of a girl named Red Riding hood, how she was duped by a wolf, who wanted to eat her up, and so it acted as if it was her granny and later; sprung upon her, grabbed her, and ate her up. Like the Red Riding Hood we should always be at the watch. Not only the things out in the market like imitation jewelries, watches but, also to the people around us. In, the Bible God, reminds us to 'Watch out' or 'Beware' with eyes open, when you are in the world. You, should always be on guard, stand in faith, be strong. He, also tells us in 1 John 4: 1,2 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit and see whether they  are from God, because many false prophets have gone into the world. This is how you can recognize the spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,"

 You, can recognize the true prophets; by the fruits they possess. When, you live in this world, not all people will be good, some may falter you, some may deceive you, some may take your wealth, so instead of you, getting into trouble; Be on guard. As said in Matt 7:15 " Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." They pretend to be something but actually they are not. If we know the truth, the word of God nicely, and if we spend time in His presence, and mediating on His word, then it is easy  to detect truth from the fake. God will give His wisdom to discern, His spirit will cover you always. " I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you" Ps 119:11.

 Same, is the case with other things, if we know how to identify the true object then we won't be deceived by anyone. Hope this blog, will enlighten your thoughts regarding what to beware of what all you need to watch out. Please do share, like and comment. God bless you.
