Tenacious Truth

Posted on Jan 23, 2017 Topic : Weekly Devotionals

Your statutes, LORD, stand firm;

holiness adorns your house

for endless days.

PSALM 93:5

The statutes of God stand firm forever. No secular storm can blow His truth from its moorings. No tempest of deceptive lies can untether truth from Almighty God. As the rocks remain unmoved from the tumult of the raging seas, so God’s truth resists the shifting current of culture’s opinions. Our faith is founded on the foundation of God’s character. What He says can be trusted and acted upon, because He’s 100 percent trustworthy.

Thank God for the outcome of His truth. His truth sets you free (John 8:32). His truth protects you (Psalm 40:11). His truth guides you (Psalm 25:5). His truth allows you to persevere (Proverbs 12:19). His truth creates value (Proverbs 16:13). His truth facilitates our worship (John 4:24). His truth is to be obeyed (Galatians 5:7). Knowing His truth leads to thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:3). His truth brings joy (3 John 4).

“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved” (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

You can be extremely grateful to God for the fruit of His truth. Don’t take truth for granted, but remain grateful instead. Remain a student of truth. This sends a signal of what you value and appreciate. The truth of God is a tremendous asset. Thank God for His truth. Praise the Lord for His precepts. His statutes stand firm. Let the truth of Almighty God transform your mind and heart. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).

Keep your mind tidy with truth. Otherwise your mind becomes cluttered and confused with messy thinking. Invite Christ’s truth to clean up the home of your heart. Then your heart will be furnished with the fixtures of His truth. Holiness will adorn your character and life. Right thinking and pure living are the goals of understanding and applying knowledge and truth.

Allow your pride to deflate and your humility to inflate under the influence of God’s truth. Tenacious truth is your true north. Bend toward truth. Embrace truth. Believe and obey truth.

How is truth tied to the Lord’s holiness? What truth do I need to embrace for God’s Spirit to transform me?
