Is The Messenger Telling The Truth?
Manage episode 490541927 series 3584945
Have you ever taken someone's advice only to discover they weren't being truthful with you? Lady Malone dives deep into a fascinating biblical narrative that will shake your understanding of trust and discernment.
During her morning Bible reading, Lady Malone encountered a story that resonated with her in an entirely new way—a cautionary tale about a man of God who received clear divine instructions but was led astray by another prophet's deliberate lie. The consequences were severe: death by lion after disobeying his original guidance. What makes this story particularly powerful is the Bible's explicit statement that the prophet lied, followed by a stunning twist where the same lying prophet becomes the messenger of judgment.
This episode unpacks the dangerous territory we enter when we automatically trust those who claim spiritual authority or expertise without exercising proper discernment. Lady Malone brings scripture to life with her animated southern storytelling style, making ancient wisdom immediately applicable to modern relationships and decision-making. She reminds us to "try the spirit by the spirit"—to test what we hear against our inner discernment before accepting guidance, even from those we respect.
Whether you're navigating complex relationships, facing important decisions, or simply trying to determine who deserves your trust, this episode offers practical wisdom wrapped in compelling biblical storytelling. Subscribe to The Morning Sip for more of Lady Malone's unique blend of spiritual insight and down-to-earth advice, and remember to pause the next time someone offers you guidance that doesn't quite sit right with your spirit.
