Five Truths You Need Everyday
Truth. I need to speak it because my heart is so prone to lies. Not my lies, the enemy’s lies. The heartache, the sorrow, the grief, the hard parts of life all will say these lies to our heart:
You don’t matter. You are alone. You can’t do this. You are forgotten. You will never succeed.
What combats lies? We know this. Truth. Truth overcomes lies every time.
Sometimes it is so hard to remember the truth! Even when I read my Bible in the morning, that evening my mind and heart had forgotten what was true. SO we must fight for truth. We must use words to fight for the truth. What words?
God’s Word of course. We need His word in our hearts on a daily basis. No, we need His truth each and every moment we face. It is not a coincidence that God created the world to be 24 hours and that He promises to walk daily with us – upholding us with His strong hand. We wonder, practically speaking, how do we do this?
One way is to speak the truth in love. What is the truth? Try these five truths to start with and go from there.
