Do not Be Deceived: Stop, Look, Listen, Learn (Scriptures of Reference Psalm 19 and Psalm 22)

(Stop) Stop allowing yourself to be carried away by the cares of this world, for the things that are seen are temporal–but the things that are not seen are lasting.

(Look) The Deceiver keeps God’s creation tied up in knots about menial things while he runs amok ravaging the most meaningful things in life…The heart, soul, and mind of man.

(Listen) 7The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous. 10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. 11By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward. (Psalm 19:7-11)

(Learn) 14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
