Tonight I went a little old school with the KJV, mainly because this is how I remember this verse. Let me be forthright in telling you that no matter who you are, in the last 24 hours, someone has lied to you. You may not even know it yet, but it is true. The weird thing, is that no matter how big or small the lie was, if you want it to be true, you will be able to find people willing to band together with you to tell you that you are right. This is what happens when men rely on each other to be the compass. God's word is very clear in this passage in 2 corinthians 10:5 that we are to cast down any idea that would go against the knowledge of God. We are not just called to cast it down, but to force these ideas under the obedience of Christ. If it doesn't work in the context of the knowledge of God and the obedience of Christ, it is to be cast down, discard it, not going to work, incompatible. We must be sure that our compass is God, lest we be lead astray and get far off course..and it only takes the first step to begin walking the deceived path towards destruction, ruin, heartache, and things you can never undo. The best action is to avoid that path, check your compass, which had better be the word of God.
Tonight, if you find yourself on that dark path, and are struggling to know which way to go, cry out to God. Get to a church, ask a Christian in your life about how God has been their light in a dark place. His word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path...we only need to turn it on by opening the pages of His Holy Word.
