Why All the Confusion?

The world has gone crazy! I watched an interview of a lady who hired someone to pour drain cleaner in her eyes so she would become blind. I used to say, “Nothing surprises me anymore.” I was wrong!

Have you heard of transableism? It’s the desire to acquire a disability through choice rather than happenstance. Some individuals even want to go so far as to have healthy limbs amputated! Many who suffer from transableism compare themselves to transgenders, feeling they were born in the wrong body and should have the right to mutilate themselves to correct the mistake.

“God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33.

There is an author of confusion…Satan. And he is writing a horror story out of the lives of so many.

Confusion is a state of mind that comes from hearing conflicting messages and not knowing which one to believe. Peace is also a state of mind. It comes from hearing God’s voice and agreeing with what He says.

Eve had peace with God until Satan came with a conflicting message. He told her she wouldn’t die if she ate the fruit. That’s not what God told her. Confused, she agrees with the devil and loses her peace, plus a lot more.

The devil’s strategy hasn’t changed. He still tempts us with, “Did God really say? Did He really say you are supposed to be the gender you are? Did He really say you shouldn’t have sex outside of marriage? Did He really say you shouldn’t love the things of this world?” Satan wants us confused. He doesn’t want us to believe that God’s ways are best for us.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9

When I’m feeling confused, I need to ask God for wisdom. My thoughts and feelings can’t always be trusted. I want to know what He thinks! That’s why it’s so vital we know His word, and then agree with Him. The result will be peace.

Perfect peace!

“The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable.” James 3:17

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.” John 16:33.

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your perfect peace. I want to experience it more and more. Expose any lies I am currently believing. Speak to those confused areas in my mind that don’t agree with Your word.
