As I stated in an earlier blog (titled "Good News) we live in a society that it is hard to know when we are being fed the truth and when we are being fed untruth. It is hard to watch the news anymore because it is hard to know whether what we are being told is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. As a believer you want to keep up with local, national, and world news, however, if I am honest many days it is hard to stomach what we are being told because most of it has an agenda behind it.
So is there truth that you and I can hold on to, is there solidarity in what we read and hear. How do we know? Who can we trust? What can we do? Let me remind you of Psalm 33:
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm. (Ps 33:4–6, 9).
1- there is the solidity of the word, three key words in verse 4: right, true, and faithful. All three words express the solidity of the Word of God. Right, true, faithful; God is truth, it is His nature, it is in His being. Truth is God.
2- His word creates. By the very spoken Word, God created everything!! How do we know that to be true. Simply look around. The earth, its substance, its decor, its inhabitants, and most importantly you were all created by Him.
3- His word has Power. There is power in truth. All God has to do is speak and it comes to be, He commands and it stands firm. What He says and does cannot be undone.
So in a world where the truth is hard to decipher, stay in His Word. His Word it truth. His Word will sustain you in days of doubt, His Word will encourage you in days of discouragement, His Word will build you up when the world is bringing you down.
So What is truth? God is truth!
Have a great day, Chris
