Who are you following?

Are you sure of who you are following? If we like what we hear, does that mean it's right? Of course not! Don't let flattery or pleasant words send you down the wrong path!! Here's your first memory verse:"Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 NIV Sometimes it only takes listening to what we want to hear instead of the truth for us to be misled. Back in the old testament God gave Jeremiah bad news to deliver to the people of Judah. Destruction was on it's way. See Jeremiah chapter 1. The next thing you know there were false prophets telling the people what they wanted to hear, that Jeremiah was all wrong. In Jeremiah 18:18 They said," Come, let's make plans against Jeremiah....let's attack him with our tongues and pay no attention to anything he says." In the end Jerusalem was destroyed and the people were taken captive.Remember to read your Bible and pray for direction. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5&6
