Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. – Romans 1:21(NLT)
DARK AND CONFUSED MINDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you entertain darkness and confusion
The enemy has deluded you with false perception
Reading the word of God will keep you in truth
It protects you from lies; it frees you and soothes
The reason why our minds become dark and confused
Is because we haven’t allowed his word to take root
Whenever we are ungrateful and fail to worship him
We continue to be blinded by the enemy to commit sin.

So many people are in bondage to sin. The enemy’s goal is to steal, kill and destroy what God has created. One of the signs of a captive mind and heart is when someone refuse to hear and see the truth. They want to live in the lies that the devil has perpetuated in their lives. I used to live in this dark and confused state for many years of my life. I used to be in bondage to sin. When God showed me to learn to give thanks in everything I was blessed with, I was drawn into the light. The bible tells us that ingratitude and not worshiping God will keep us imprisoned in darkness and confusion.
PRAYER
Lord, free me from confusion and darkness.
REFLECTION
How can praise and thanksgiving break darkness and confusion?
