What About Truth?

We hear a lot of cheap talk these days. We’re subjected daily to personal observations that may be far different from our own. We’ve gotten stoic about it, haven’t we? We’re told these days, even in the spiritual realm, that there is no objective truth. There is no absolute truth except your own.

But what we all need, perhaps not realizing it, is a faith, a truth, THE truth, a grace, a Person, a surety that completely sustains us.

In Isaiah 40:28-29 we have a word–“Have you not heard that the Everlasting God faints not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. He gives power to the faint. And to them who have no might He increases strength.”

It’s hard to separate truth out of all the things we hear. It’s hard for me. The times have changed so much that my greatgrandchildren–all 14 of them–can’t relate when I tell them about my youth. One said, “You were living in George Washington’s day, weren’t you Granny?” And even though I live among them, and hear their talk, sometimes I don’t understand the things that influence and inform them, and are informing what they will become. They are being fitted as citizens of this age. But what about the Age to Come?

In a culture that worships beauty, riches, success, celebrity, sports and movie stars, and youth, there isn’t always much call for truth.

There is ABSOLUTE TRUTH. And it resides in a person, the Lord Jesus Christ, who IS truth.

we’re coming upon, to me, the most wonderful time of the year, when we’re reminded of His life and His sacrifice and the blessed truth that He lives forevermore.

In the light of that, be brave and honest and good. And continue to be a blessing, refreshing wells in the desert of our present culture.
