The Spiritual Chameleon: A Call to Authenticity

-

Leviticus 11:29-30 (KJV) lists the chameleon among unclean creatures. Spiritually, a chameleon represents someone who pretends to be something they're not, changing their "color" to deceive others.
Devotion: In today's church, various types of spiritual chameleons exist, united by their exploitation for personal gain:

1. *Fellowship Chameleon*: Lacks genuine desire for spiritual growth, pretending piety while deceiving others.
2. *Leadership Chameleon*: Manipulates others using oratory and administrative gifts, prioritizing self-aggrandizement over servant-leadership.
3. *Financial Chameleon*: Uses church for business deals, ignoring Jesus' teachings (Matthew 21:12).
4. *Romantic Chameleon*: Employs deception to attract the opposite sex.

*Reflection Question:* Are you a spiritual chameleon?

*Call to Action:* Recognize and change your ways, embracing authenticity and sincerity in your faith journey.

May we strive for genuine faith, rejecting the characteristics of the spiritual chameleon.

Hallelujah!

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
