God’s Word stands firm. We read it in Scripture, but do we truly believe it?
We must always remind ourselves that God never changes. In this ever evolving world, where many people…even “pastors”…have begun to try to say Scripture is outdated.
The Word of God never becomes outdated.
Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth You created. Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves Your plans. If Your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. I will never forget Your commandments, for by them Your give me life. Psalm 119:89-93
As followers of Christ, we must always remain tethered to the truth in Scripture. Now, more than ever, we must return to Scripture. If you are reading Scripture regularly, you would definitely know that nothing that’s currently happening is a surprise.
I know I’ve written about some of this before, but I won’t stop. It needs to become a daily reminder because the lies are so consistent. It’s so easy to begin to be turned toward the lies without even realizing…so it’s paramount to be intentionally consuming Truth. Intentionally being steeped in God’s Word. Intentionally staying close to Jesus.
When lies scream at us every day, they can tend to begin to turn us away from the Truth…unless we are constantly immersed in Truth. We must make daily Bible reading a part of our lives. Let the Good News be your main news source.
It’s a time to intentionally focus on what is true. Turn off the TV, turn off the phone and get outside and listen to the Lord in nature. Read the Word. Pray and listen. Listen some more. Stay steeped in what is true.
We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:1-3
I ask you to take some time today and ask yourself what is true. Have you stayed pure to God’s word or have you begun to turn. Where have you allowed the yeast of the world to influence your growth.
Maybe you haven’t at all. But maybe you have. It’s always good to take a moment and make sure. Stay tethered to the Truth and you can fully live.
