Evening Meditation 1-3-20

I will establish his line forever,
    his throne as long as the heavens endure.

30 “If his sons forsake my law
    and do not follow my statutes,
31 if they violate my decrees
    and fail to keep my commands,
32 I will punish their sin with the rod,
    their iniquity with flogging;
33 but I will not take my love from him,
    nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
34 I will not violate my covenant
    or alter what my lips have uttered.
35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
    and I will not lie to David—
36 that his line will continue forever
    and his throne endure before me like the sun;
37 it will be established forever like the moon,
    the faithful witness in the sky.” Psalm 89: 29-37

How Truth Sets You Free

This word came to me in prayer this morning. I felt led to share it with you.

God is the holder of our true identities. We can never really know who we are or who we were made to be until we come to Him. Until then we put on half true faces to match the tenor of the world around us. Even when we do come to Him, though, we find that our false selves still cling to us. It is only in the relating to God that those false selves begin to strip away and we come to ourselves. It is for this reason the world, the flesh and the devil work so hard to keep Christians from doing the very things which most deeply connect them to God. You see, in the connecting we become truly ourselves and all the interior spaces we once gave to our false selves is taken up by truth, and as you know the truth will set you free!
