NOBODY CAN DECEIVE YOU WITHOUT YOUR HELP

NOBODY CAN DECEIVE YOU WITHOUT YOUR HELP
THE SEED
“And he felt him and said, ‘The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.’” – Genesis 27:22 (NKJV)

Genesis 27 recounts the story of Isaac being deceived by Jacob with the help of Rebekah. Though Isaac was suspicious, he ignored the warning signs—the speed of the food preparation and the mismatch between Jacob’s voice and Esau’s hands. Isaac chose to overlook his doubts, allowing the deception to succeed. This story illustrates how people often ignore red flags due to convenience, fear, or reluctance to disrupt the status quo. Similarly, many fall victim to scams, lies, or temptations because they choose to dismiss their inner warnings. Believers must learn to be diligent and discerning, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide them. Deception often requires our participation, so let us resolve to remain vigilant and avoid ignoring signs of danger.

BIBLE READING: Genesis 27:11-22
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me to be diligent and discerning, never participating in my deception. Amen.
