One minute read.
Daily Reading: Joshua 11:1-12:24, Luke 17:11-37, Psalm 84:1-12, Proverbs 13:5-6
Truth prevails.
Lies never stand the test of time. Eventually, the truth always comes out. Following Jesus means striving to live a righteous life and a life of integrity. Christ came with a purpose:
“Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” John 8:37
Christ tells the truth. We all sin and fall short of the grace of God. And, at some time or another, we have all lied. The consequences of telling false tales will eventually catch up with us. But when we strive for integrity, we tell the truth.
Facts don’t change, but the shifting sands of lies do. Eventually, the ground gets shaken, and liars fall prey to their tales. But standing on the rock of Jesus gives us a firm foundation, one we can plant our feet on and not have to worry about falling.
Strive for integrity, tap into Jesus’ strength, and follow Him. Live a morally right life one day at a time as you let God’s truth and His words guide you.
Lord, forgive us for falling prey to taking the easy way out and not telling the truth. Please give us the strength and determination to live a life of integrity, choosing truth over falsities. Help us become more like Jesus one day at a time. IJNIP. Amen
