Love Rejoices In Truth

When Jesus was before Pilate the Roman Governor to whom the Jewish leaders had brought Him, Pilate asked Jesus, ”What is truth?” It would appear that Pilate had no interest in hearing an answer to his question for he immediately walked away. 

Truth is the state or character of what is true and cannot be altered.  However, it can be manipulated! Many of us in our addiction had our own version of things that happened.  Often, in order to get what we wanted we exaggerated our circumstances so we could benefit from the kindness of another.  Many of us lied through our teeth when we were caught red-handed in a crime.  

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV) 

As we seek to know the truth, many other voices in our culture will conflict with what the Bible says.  We need to ask the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, to reveal the measure of God’s love for us, and to give us understanding of the principles contained in the Bible. When we know the truth of God’s unfailing love for us and determine to obey God in all our affairs, we will be free from the power of evil to mess up our lives.

Jesus said: I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. (Matthew 5:18 NLT)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving us Your Word.  Give me understanding of the Scriptures and help me to practice Your principles in all my affairs.  Help me to live today in the joy of knowing the truth of the Good News of Jesus, who gives me everlasting life.  Amen
