How many people have been blinded and misguided by false promises of evil people who only have their own interests in mind? How can we know whom we can trust?
People have their own agendas. But the almighty creator God is above and beyond that.
May we walk in his good ways, then we do not fall into traps of evil people, and rather have a good life and can be a blessing to others as well. The Lord has a good long term plan for each and everyone individually.
