Jeremiah 14:14 The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.

Ever heard someone call another person “delusional”?

People throw this term around all the time. But delusional disorder is actually a type of serious mental illness in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main symptom is an unshakable belief in something untrue.

The other prophets of Jeremiah’s day may have thought him to be delusional. After all, they were all saying one thing, and he was saying the opposite. But God proved Jeremiah to be the one who was right.

Today truth is often deemed relative. Many believe something to be true as long as the majority also believe it. But only God is absolute truth. Those who serve Him are grounded in the truth. We can see this by studying God’s Word and listening to His Spirit.

Prayer Suggestion: God, help me to know your truth so that I am not taken in by the world’s delusions.
