The curse of hypocrisy runs rampant in our land. Hypocrisy is the practice of professing a virtuous belief that one does not possess. It is nothing more than falseness.
From Hollywood to our homes, people pretend to be something that they are not.
Isaiah 32:4-6 “The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord.....”
The curse of hypocrisy is a temporary joy. The only true joy they receive, is the brief satisfaction of fooling people. The hypocrite sacrifices permanent trust of people for what they want right now, not realizing that he/she is actually living in a house of cards. It takes work to build a life of character
Hypocrisy hides itself from wisdom... James 3:17 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
We are never justified to a hypocrite. It is a curse in our life. Today, ask the Lord to take it from your life. Repent and renounce the falseness in your life. Seek for God’s wisdom and you will not have to play act or hide any longer. There is nothing so peaceful as being an open book before God and man!
