Grace for your spirit February 6, 2013

Grace for your spirit
But Peter said, "Why has the Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back some of the price of the land.  Acts 5:3

Ananias and his wife lost their lives that day trying to deceive.  They lied to everyone about their giving in order to feel important and spiritual.  Satan has so many way to control our hearts and help us do wrong.  I wondered, how many ways do we lie to the Holy Spirit?  Do we say we're not worried, but we are?  Do we boast that we are not afraid, but we are?  Do we brag that we are never angry, but we ado?  Might we say we have forgiven, when we have not?  Do we claim we are completely a disciple, when we are really holding back?  When we lie to God and men tp make ourselves look spiritual, the devil is pleased and in control.  Let's be honest before God and enjoy the refreshment that comes in the presence of the Lord.
