INTRODUCTION

The Bible plainly points out that God is not the author (or originator) of the confusion in the life of any believer. In fact, God desires for every individual to have clarity of mind when it comes to the truths found in His word. He wants man to know for a certainty concerning his eternal destination, whether heaven or hell. God furthermore wants man to have perfect clarity in distinguishing sin from righteousness. Simply put, God has no desire for believers to live in a confused state of mind. Had sin never entered into the world, there would be no conflicting feelings or voices introducing the confusion so prevalent today. Yet, God’s truth becomes even more essential in order to clear up the confusion caused by sin and Satan.

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

• (For children): God is not willing that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
  See All...). He said if we really want to find Him, we will (Jeremiah 29:13-14 [13] And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. [14] And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
  See All...a). He wants us to know for sure we are saved. He does not want us to live with doubts or confusion (1 John 5:11-13 [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
  See All...).
• (For everyone): Have you ever blamed confusion on the Lord? Have you ever suggested that the Lord was leading you to do something contrary to the revealed words of God?
• Why is it important to realize that God is not the author of confusion? What does this mean you can assume when confusion enters into your mind and heart?

PRAYER NEEDS

• Thank God for the clarity of truth.
• Ask God to help you know that confusion is not sent by Him.
