God's Moral Compass

July 19

Truth is held in high esteem by people who set their lives by God’s moral compass. Because the Most High God is TRUTH (Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me,”), we value truth, we embrace truth, we endeavor to live in truth.

We desire that our ways please our Living Lord by abiding in His truth because He further stated in John 8:32, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” There is no freedom in this life or in eternity apart from Jesus and the TRUTH that He is. Many endeavor to abide by the doctrines of false gods and men, and they can be discerned by the deception, the fallacy, the untruth that encumbers them.

The words that they speak, though they may be crafted by skilled wordsmiths, though they may be inspiring, optimistic, flattering and uplifting, will ultimately dash the hope of those who trust in them because lies must fail. Only TRUTH, only HE WHO IS TRUTH, abides forever.

Proverbs 16:13 tells us, “Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.” Temporal rulers, may falter in their espousal of truth for they are given to the compromise of truth to further their own ends, but Jesus, the ONE who is TRUTH, establishes in TRUTH the man who sets his compass by Him.
