Thought for the day
What is your perception of truth?

“What is truth?”, Pilate asked… (John 18 v 38)

The Lord has put it on my heart to write an article about truth and it feels like He is urging me to take the time and write about this much debated topic and I will do so soon…

How do you perceive truth?

Some believe truth is relative, while others firmly believe it is absolute. Pilate asked Jesus, what was probably one of the most important (if not the most important) questions anyone could ask the Creator and Saviour of the world.

We have all read that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, but can we fully comprehend this truth or do we simply choose to believe, because it seems like the right thing to do and with so many unanswered questions, we prefer not to dig too deep as to prevent us from questioning our own beliefs.

My plea today is that we will take the time and evaluate our take on truth, especially Jesus’ claim and the truth regarding the scriptures and our interpretation thereof. Ask the Lord to reveal His truth to you and remove the veil, that is causing our spiritual blindness, through His Spirit.

My prayer is that we will be honest with God if we struggle with certain aspects of the truth. Be real with the Lord, for He knows the intentions of your heart. May He reveal Himself in ways you have never experienced before.

Let us put aside our our own interpretations for a while and allow the Spirit to teach us. You might just be pleasantly surprized or absolutely shocked! More often than not it is pride that prevents us from seeing what God wants to show us, causing us to miss out on the treasures of His word.

May today be a revelation to you while you experience the grace and the love of the Living God, knowing that He is who He says He is. Let’s pray as a body that the Spirit will guide us into ALL truth.
