Counterfeits Of The Heart
February 1, 2011

True stories about deceit and deception can sound stranger than fiction. According to an AP news item, a Georgia woman was arrested after trying to pay for more than $1,500 in purchases with a million-dollar counterfeit bill. When questioned, the embarrassed patron claimed to have been misled, saying that the fake money had been given to her by her ex-husband, who was a coin collector.

The size of the bill makes us question whether anyone could really have been misled into thinking it was real. But maybe that makes it a good illustration of the almost unbelievable problem of self-deception that the prophet warns us about. When Jeremiah said, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?” (17:9 ESV), he expresses a sense of amazement that is beyond our ability to grasp. Here the prophet is not saying that some of us have a problem being honest with ourselves; he is claiming that everyone does.

Thankfully, God searches our hearts and understands what we cannot see (v.10). He gives us every reason to say, “Lord, we need Your help. Please show us whether we are being honest with ourselves and You. If we aren’t, help us to change and rely on You rather than on ourselves.”

Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free. —Orr

The only way to survive in a world of deception is by trusting the One who will never deceive us.

Read: Jeremiah 17:5-11

The heart is deceitful above all things. —Jeremiah 17:9

Bible in a year:
Exodus 27-28; Matthew 21:1-22

WOW!

Dover AFB has changed a lot since I was stationed there from 1983-1988. I’d probably get lost there now.

Thanks for posting.

Great thread, Kathy! Thanks for your hard work to let us
know what our heroes do!

[Delmarksman]

Thanks for posting this. DAFB and Dover in general, has changed a lot over the years but the heart is still the same.

I came here in ‘84 and am still here.

[Tanniker Smith]

Good evening, Kathy! Good evening, all!

More snow on the way!
Would they close the schools on the first day of the new semester?

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy. How’s everything?

[JRios1968]

That's aircraft 83-1285, the first C-5B manufactured and delivered. As I recall, it was delivered to Dover AFB on 17 Dec 1985, which led the AF to give it that tail number (the 83 is the year in which the jet was ordered, and 1285 stands for Dec 1985.)

As you can see, it's now a C-5M, with the M standing for "Modernized". It has received a modern "glass" cockpit and new engines.

A little late but....Thank you lauren! *hugs*

The Air Mobility Museum at Dover is a must-see.

It is free, and has on the tarmac almost every example of USAF cargo carrier you can name. Inside the museum it has a fully restored B-17G and a C-47.

Lots of exhibits—kid friendly also.

It is a wonderful place.
