Yesterday Ida and I were reading the daily chapter in My Life Today by Ellen White for our morning devotional on the experience of Joseph in the house of Potiphar. When Mrs. Potiphar did not succeed in her enticement of Joseph she turned the story around and told her husband Joseph had done what he didn't do. So Joseph was put in prison.
This is what some of us experienced happening to Linda as she was accused of doing just what she did not do, and even today a number of people believe the false stories told, picking up withered straws they think point in the direction of the fiction they believe in.
The chapter we read this morning deals with real peace and false self-made peace. There is quite a difference. Some base a semblance of peace on turning around the facts and rejoice how many people they have managed to deceive.
Real peace is based on TRUTH itself and is not man-made.
