Truth?
This whole thing of truth today is just amazing to me. Truth is not something that can be manufactured or altered to fit any given situation. The fact that we are all born with a sense of right and wrong, this higher standard we know and assume that everyone else knows should prove in our own hearts that truth exists. Think about it there is something inside of you that says one thing is good and another is bad. That's when people will say it's true for me it doesn't have to be true to you. It doesn't work that way. If it did than when somebody wronged you, you wouldn't say that it was not fair. By who's standards was it not fair maybe according to their truth it was perfectly acceptable to cut in line or to steal your wallet. He had calculated reasons for doing so. But there is something above our own reason and justification that says certain things are wrong. They're wrong for all people all the time. I'll give you an example when is it okay or good to rape somebody? I'll tell you when never! To say rape is wrong is an absolute truth. The amazing thing about truth is that it doesn't need anyone to believe in it to exist. It existed before us, it will exist after us, it's unchanging, it's steady, it's true. Instead of trying to be our own gods of our own lives we need to embrace this truth for what it is and when we know the truth it will set us free. So what is this truth? Jesus answered "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life, no one shall come to the Father but by me". John 14:6 Trust in the Truth, the author of life and he will set you free.

Man, it took you all the way to 6:52am to do your devotion? Sluggard. Just kidding...
Good thoughts. Strong finish, too, with Jesus' words. People may disagree with our message of truth, but we have a legitimate foundation to support it. Where is their foundation? I find one rarely exists. It's so good to know we can trust the Word as absolute truth and rest in it to give us peace.
