“Living By the Truth of God’s Word”

 
 
living by truth

Every day of our life we will be presented with opportunities to make choices, and God wants us to choose His way, and His way is always truth.    It is so important that we value hearing , reading, and meditating upon God’s Word.    We must keep our minds renewed to God’s way of living.   Every question or that which pertains to us living godly is in His precious Word.    If we do not make it a habit to keep our minds renewed we will be deceived into thinking that “if we feel” okay about the direction we are taking, then it is okay.    Many times I hear people say they have a peace about a decision they are making, yet they are not sure if they know beyond a shadow of a doubt.     I can assure you that the enemy knows well how to set us up to think that deception and wrong choices are okay.   He is the Angel of Light isn’t he? ….this is how he is able to accomplish deception by his trickery and deceptive ways.    May we never ever think that we can pick and choose when we are going to walk in truth.    May our hearts desire to know that we are saturated in His Word. May we be determined to walk in a way in which we never waver but stay true to every precept He has given us to live by.
 
 
 
 
It is as we are with strong conviction about living His Word in our lives that we will take strong stands against falsehoods that would try to pull us down and weaken our convictions. Falsehood is lack of conformity to truth or fact.
 
 

Psalm 119:163 (CEB)
“I hate, I absolutely despise, what is false,
but I’m in love with your Instruction.”

Psalm 119:163 Good News Translation

“I hate and detest all lies,
but I love your law.”
 
 
 

Today Lord we ask that You would give us discerning hearts for we well know that the devil can come as an Angel of Light. He can try to confuse us in order that we walk away from our strong convictions. We thank You Lord that Your grace is able to keep us strong and deliberate in our walk. We ask that Your Word would grow deeper and deeper within us as we proclaim that we love Your law with all of our hearts. In Jesus Name! Amen.
