Lying To Ourselves

We have a huge capacity to lie to ourselves. We do it by convincing ourselves of things that aren't really true. We do it by avoiding the truth that we already know. But God provides two safeguards against such self-deception. His Word and true friends are both things God intentionally puts in our lives to help us stay grounded in truth. Each has the ability to help us see beyond ourselves - if we will constantly seek them out and listen to them.
