What if the thoughts that drain your courage aren’t random at all, but planted with purpose? We take a hard look at deception as the enemy’s primary weapon and draw a line straight to John 8:44, where Jesus names the devil as a liar and the father of lies. That lens changes everything: when fear and defeat feel familiar, we can trace them back to messages about God’s character, our identity, and our circumstances—and then choose truth that sets us free.

We walk through three common categories of lies and show how each one distorts trust, belonging, and hope. You’ll learn a simple, practical rhythm you can use today: identify one lie, replace it with one verse, and declare that truth out loud. This isn’t a motivational trick; it’s a way to align your mind and heart with what God actually says. We also share a short prayer to steady your focus and strengthen your faith when doubts flare up, along with a reminder that steady exposure to Scripture makes counterfeits easier to spot.

Expect a focused, encouraging time that helps you reset your day with clarity and courage. If you’re ready to stop rehearsing fear and start rehearsing truth, this conversation offers language, steps, and hope you can put into practice right away. Subscribe for daily wisdom, share this with a friend who needs a lift, and leave a review to help more people find a grounded way forward.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.839
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.559
Today is day 294.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.640
The Devil is a Liar.

00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.679
From John chapter 8, verse 44 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.640
He has always hated the truth because there is no truth in him.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:46.640
When he lies, it is consistent with his character, for he is a liar and the father of all lies.

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.600
The enemy's primary weapon is deception.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.479
He lies about God's character.

00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.799
He lies about your identity.

00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.520
He lies about your circumstances.

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:06.239
If he can get you to believe his lies, he can keep you stuck in fear and defeat.

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.280
That's why it's so important to know God's word.

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.439
The truth will always expose the lies of the enemy.

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:21.760
Today, I want you to identify one lie that the enemy has been whispering to you.

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.519
Replace it with a verse from Scripture and declare that truth out loud today.

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.920
Pray with me.

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:35.359
Father God, help me see the enemy's lies for what they are.

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.439
Fill me with your truth so that I can stand firm in faith and not be shaken.

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.519
I ask this in Jesus' precious, precious name.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.640
Amen.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.040
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.640
But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
