पेर्सप्तिओं इस नो reality

"The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken." - Job 4:१०

In the advertising business we often say that "perception is reality"
for the person who views our advertising message. It does not matter
whether the audience believes the message to be true, only that they
perceive it to be true. Their actions will be the same whether they
believe it or only perceive it.

The enemy of our souls is very good at this game. He may bring on us what we perceive to be true when it is a lie. It may appear that
there is no way around a situation. He may bring great fear on us. When
we buy into his lie, we believe only what we have chosen to perceive to
be true. It usually has no basis of truth. Such was the case when Peter
looked on the waters during a night boat journey with the other
disciples. At first glance, he and the disciples screamed with fear,
thinking that what they saw was a ghost. It was actually Jesus.

Satan's name means "accuser." He travels to and fro to accuse the brethren. He brings an impressive front to all he does, yet behind
that front is a weak, toothless lion with a destination that has
already been prepared in the great abyss. He knows his destination, but
he wants to bring as many with him as possible; so he often has a big
roar, but little bite.
The next time some event comes into your life that creates fear and trembling, first determine the source. Look past the emotions and
evaluate the situation in light of God's Word. Perception is not always
reality.
