SCRIPTURE
Proverbs 30:5 (ESV)
5 Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
OBSERVATION
Truth can be known, and God’s word is always true. In a world full of lies, deception and claims of “my truth,” every word of God proves true.
We are built with a desire to find truth and a need to find safety in truth. Humans accept all manner of lies because of our innate need to believe in something bigger than ourselves. BUT ONLY God and His word will provide the refuge we long to find.
APPLICATION
If the world is going to find God’s truth, our lives must look distinctly different from the world’s lies. However, all too often, we can allow worldly values and passions to seep into our hearts, and our lives become a poor image of Christ.
If we want the people we know and love to come to know Jesus, our lives must find refuge in Christ and Christ alone.
PRAYER
Lord,
Cleanse anything in me that doesn’t look like Jesus. Help my life to look like Him and His truth.
Amen
