Good Day To You
I want you to know that I appreciate you stopping
by. I know that you can be reading or doing something
else. It's important to me to carry out the
assignments that our Lord puts in front of me. This
weeks topic is called " TRUTH BE TOLD " so please sit
down and let's get started.
God says to walk before me (Him) in truth. God's promises
are unconditional and they will always be fulfilled.
Psalm 15:1 God calls his people to be morally upright
to walk in integrity, righteousness and we are to
always tell the truth.You see one of God's characteristics
is truthfulness. He embodies Perfect Truth; for this
reason, His WORD cannot lie. It is true and dependable
for guidance and help. The Bible is completely true and
trustworthy.
Stubbornness can blind a person to the truth. When you
rid yourself of stubbornness, you may be surprised by
abundant evidence of God's work in your life. Jesus
Himself is the truth that sets us free. He is the source
of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. He frees
us from consequences of sin, from self-deception and from
deception by Satan. He shows us clearly the way to Eternal
Life with God. Thus Jesus does not give us freedom to do
what we want, but freedom to follow God.
As we seek to serve
God, Jesus' Perfect Truth frees us to be all that God meant
us to be.
To handle the Word of Truth correctly, we must study what
the Word of God says so we can understand what it means.
Because God will examine what kind of workers we have been
for Him, we should build our lives on His WORD and build His
WORD into our lives - it alone tells us how to live for Him
and serve Him.
Believers who ignore the Bible will certainly
be ashamed at the judgment. Consistent and diligent study of
God's Word is vital; otherwise we will be lulled into
neglecting God and our true purpose for living.
LAST POINT: How many of us only want to hear Good News, often
the truth makes us uncomfortable. We prefer lies and illusions
when they make us feel more secure. It is much better to face
reality than to live a lie. Don't settle for something that
makes you feel comfortable but is not true.
Until Next Time...

These words were amazing for me this morning. Lately I have found myself being incredibly stubborn and try to handle proble,s on my own. My devotional today spoke of not using god and Jesus as a good ouch charm. I see these as signs that god is telling me not to be stubborn and just listen to what he has to say. Also to stop asking God just when it is convenient for me. I need to pay more attention to the truth..... Thanks Jim
Andrew,
I sincerely appreciate your very honest and revealing comments. Our God is an on time God, and He has already promised that He would never leave us nor forsake us. I'm praying that your words will inspire others to seek out the truths of God.
Your honesty speaks volumes about your character.
