And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Truth is wonderful. Jesus said it will make us free. But as wonderful as truth is, we must be willing to face it. Truth often shocks us into a reality we may feel unprepared to see, but if God is revealing it, He knows the time is right.
As tough as it might be to face the truth, especially when it requires that we make changes in our lives, it is always better than avoiding it. You will be so glad to live in the freedom and rewards it brings.
We can never get to where we want to be unless we truly face where we are. We must not look to the world to teach us how to live sincere, godly lives, but rather to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. These are the real sources of truth—truth that will change us, encourage us, instruct us, and set us free.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, give me courage to face truth, even when it’s hard. Help me trust Your Word and Spirit to guide, change, and set me free.
