The Path of Truth

Scripture:

Psalm 25:5
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation. (NKJV)

Observation:

This petition of King David’s, which was written thousands of years ago, is one we should whisper each and every morning before we begin our day and before we pick up God’s Word in search of the Truth.
Our gracious and loving God left the glory of heaven and traveled across the cosmos to become flesh and blood as we are flesh and blood (John 1:14) in order to save us from our enemies and personally teach us how to live a righteous life of hope in a world that is against us (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Application:

Once a person understands this truth, their God given common sense will begin to tell them that maybe; just maybe, this is a path worth looking into. And once the decision is made to walk in the truth of God’s redemptive plan, the Spirit of God will lead us, step by step, down the only path that will lead to an amazing life-journey unlike anything this world has to offer.
As I began to learn who our God is and all that He has provided, it became quite apparent that I should trust in Him, for the world I had trusted most of my life had always let me down; it had chewed me up and spit me out, and the only promise it could keep was my eventual destruction and death. My dear friends, there is no one better to trust than the God who came and suffered the penalty for our sins and rebellion in order to save us from death (Romans 5:6). Is it better to trust in a world that can only promise you temporary rewards and eternal death, or the only God who can promise you everlasting rewards and eternal life? We cannot win the battles of life by trusting in the world and in our own power. The powerful forces that rule this dark and dying world cannot be defeated without the Lord our God to defend us and provide the strength we need to persevere with peace and joy. Which path makes better sense to you? One that leads to darkness and death, or one that leads into the glorious Light of eternity?

Prayer:

I ask You, Lord God, in Your Mighty Name, to help me along this path that leads to life. Help me to remain strong and courageous in the midst of my troubles and those that are raging all around us. I know, dear Lord, that I need Your constant strength and wisdom, along with Your mercy and grace to win this battle for my soul. I love and honor You.
Amen
