CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Confronted
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. — 1 John 1:8.
Have you ever heard of the “Big Lie Technique”? Is a propaganda technique used for political purposes, defined as "a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the facts, especially when used as a propaganda device by a politician or official body; during the Cold War era, the term “Big Lie Technique” was used to describe how communist dictators deceived their people about what was happening in the world. The “Big Lie Technique” involves saying something that is blatantly untrue loud enough and long enough so that eventually people come to believe that it must be true.
But what if I am the Big Liar? What if I have been successful in covering up the evidence of my wrongdoing, and then convincing myself that it never happened? What if I have been successful in shifting the blame for what I’ve done, or even in blaming the victim of my sin and then convincing myself that I was always in the right? What if I have the power and influence to deny responsibility, knowing that no one will call me to account?
Today’s Scripture verses don’t answer these questions, but they do state the frightening facts: until my Big Lie is acknowledged, there is no truth in me. I am walking in darkness, and I have shut God, the true light, out of my life.
PRAYER
Lord, forgive me of my sins; the sins I’ve taught myself to hide, overlook, or dismiss as insignificant. In Jesus’ name Amen.
