"One of Satan's favorite ploys to keep us from truth is to make us despise the messenger of truth." If someone speaks a difficult word to us, we will be tempted to ignore the truth by trying to find the same or a similar fault in that person. How true! Today, if we should hear an aggravating messenger, let's filter out the portion that irks us, and find the message underneath that we must apply!
I'm speaking to myself, since I'm headed to church this morning and still generally find the services and messages aggravating and boring.
(Quote from Seeking the Face of God by Gary Thomas. Great book!)
