Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free - John 8:32
God is vitally concerned with truth. His word teaches the truth; His spirit reveals the truth; His son leads us to the truth. When we open our hearts to God, and when we allow His Son to rule over our thoughts and our lives, God reveals Himself, and we come to understand the truth about ourselves and the Turth (with a capital T) about God's gift of grace.
The famililar words of John 8:32 remids us that when we come to know God's Truth, we are liberated. Have you been liberated by that Truth? And are you living in accordance with the eternal truths that you find in God's Holy Word? Hopefully so.
Today, as you fulfill the responsibilities that God has places before you, ask yourself this question: "Do my thoughts and actions bear witness to the ultimate Truth that God has placed in my hearts, or am I allowing the pressures of everyday life to overwhelm me?" I's a profound question that deserves an answer...now.
The Holy Spirtit was given to guide us into all truth, but he doesn't do it all at once. - Elizabeth Elliot
Instant Tip:
Knowing the Turth..and living it: Warren Wiersbe write, "Learning God's Turth and getting it into our heads is one things, but living God's truth and getting it into out characters is quite something else." So don't be be satisfied to sit on the sidelones and observe the truth at a distance--live it.
My prayer to God:
Heavenly Father, You are the way and the truth and the light. Today-as I follow your way and share your good news- let me be a worthy example to others and a worthy servant to you. Amen. |
