Counterfeit
When I was in college, I worked in a bank. I was just part-time, so I was a receptionist, but they did let me take deposits at my desk now and then.
And I did get in on some of the teller guidelines… They were responsible for all the bills we took in. Their job was to make sure no counterfeit money was deposited. This was before bills had been updated with watermarks, etc., so most of what they went by was the feel of the money. There were other indicators, too, but after handling bills all day, they got good at knowing when something was off.
Reading today’s entry, it occurs to me that the better I know God’s word and His Spirit, the quicker I’ll know when something is off. It’s pointless to research every wacky new spiritual thing out there – my best strategy is to spend so much time handling the real thing that I’ll spot a fake from a mile away.
