Did you know that all evil or sinful thoughts first start with the 'image' of an idea?
Today’s scripture is about those that had an image in their minds of a tower so tall
that they could escape any future flood, and thus the infamous Tower of Babel was conceived.
Like those before the flood where “Every imagination of the thoughts of the people’s
heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5) they also took that image in their mind
of an inconquestable thing from Conception to Inception to Deception.
Likewise, when we start to imagine evil ideas that come into our mind, the next step is to give them life
in CONCEPTION and once that thought is born it enters INTO our mind as an INCEPTION.
Then, if left unchecked, it will always lead to DECEPTION.
Many people are mislead today by all the many 'voices' that bombard us through media,
the Internet, and popular culture. If you also allow these evil seeds into your mind, they will spring to
life and become part of you, and once that happens, you will be led down dark paths — and Wrong
Decisions WILL Follow.
The apostle James put it this way when he wrote:
“But everyone is tempted, when they are enticed by their thoughts,
and when that thought is conceived, what follows is sin, and the end of
that is death.”
James 1:14-15
(Paraphrased)
Friend, the gateway to your heart are your thoughts, and if you let evil thoughts move from Conception
to Inception, then Deception is inevitable.
As the Psalms says, we must always be on guard and diligent so “Keep you heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:23)
