Clever Can't Change Truth

7/23/2015

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!  Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight!" -Isaiah 5:20-21 (NASB)
Sometimes people try to disguise their intentions through the words they choose.  We can probably think of many examples of this in politics and advertisements.  People think a clever catch phrase or circular logic will help them convince others to join their cause or buy their product.

In Isaiah (5:20-21) we are warned against convolution of the truth and against trying to be clever in our own minds.  When we think we can hide truth or intentions, we are only fooling ourselves.  There is only one truth - God's truth - and, no matter how clever we think we are, we cannot change His truth.  A catchy phrase or circular explanation cannot replace the truth that God has given us!

Don't try to be clever in covering up the truth because you can't change God's truth!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me Your truth.  Help me to always know and stand up for Your truth, even when others are trying hide it.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
