On the surface we see the bright lights, gold, the jewels, the "bling bling." Remembering that appearances can be deceiving, it’s time to get smart. Like Vegas that glitters on the surface, it does not reveal the potential for destruction and misery. It does not make evident the attraction of drugs and prostitution which lurks in the shadows. It does not reveal that what glitters is not the promise of success and prosperity. It does not speak of itself as a plot and a ploy to destroy men and consume them whole. It does not reveal the trail of homes, husbands, wives, children, and destinies destroyed collected in it’s coffers. It does not reveal that there is an enormous and treacherous green-eyed monster whose voice is the sound of "ka-ching" and that breathes fire and bondage; that takes away all the substance of men especially the poor, disadvantaged, and oppressed, and whose steady diet is human flesh.

Oh Yes! The lights are bright, the carpets quite red, the ambiance quite luxurious and the sounds of jack-pots frequent but it is not innocent. It is not a promise for personal wealth for the masses but is like a worm concealing the hook it hides. The same enemy that perpetrates this fraud of glitter is the very same whose real identify is hidden determined to pull that very same red carpet from under the hapless and naïve victim.

2 Cor 11:14-15 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. NKJV

Let us not suppose that this oppression stops at the gambling table in the lavish casinos gaining such acceptance through our society. The glittered images are proliferated throughout the very fabric of modern life. Just as "Smiling Faces tell Lies," The whole fabric of society these days preaches a message of the beauties and love of wealth and power while it steals everything from the unwitting.

It’s time to get smart and know who our friends are. We are bombarded with the hedonistic message that more is better. And so we, with reckless abandon, and wonton spend and live beyond our means. We love high and wild, and love for the moment while watching the images of sexual exploitation in the meat market of beautiful bodies.

If one simply stops and takes a good look at all the many activities that are destroying us, we can see the intent is present to do just that. It is no coincidence that there is black on black crime; that Planned Parenthood is a racist agenda to destroy a very proud and powerful people; that the record shows the focus of this agenda is focused on the demise of particular people in various parts of the world.

Getting smart means that we should no longer participate in our own destruction be get smart and live according to that which can be trusted. Know who your friends are! Know the best friend that any one could ever have. Know that friend that proved His honesty and love by allowing Himself to be killed for His purpose to bring His people to full success and completion of destines.
