April 19 & 20, 2025 – It Is Good To Know the Truth

It Is Good To Know the Truth

April 19 & 20, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 19:5 & 9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape…
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     There used to be a saying when I was younger: “You will just lie your way into a big hole and then pull the dirt in on top of you with more lies.” Oh, how true this seems to be. One lie is told, and then someone asks a question about that lie, and another lie just a little bigger is told to cover up the first lie. Soon, we find we are telling another lie, and then another, until it is so outrageous that even you cannot believe what is coming out of your mouth. At that point, your mind is constantly filled with wonderings of, “What did I tell them, or did I tell them this or that?” People begin to catch you in your lies, and then they can never trust anything you say. Your family and friends who used to listen to you now take everything you say with a grain of salt.

     I once heard someone ask the question, “If a liar says he is lying, is he telling the truth?” What a terrible way to spend a life, especially when we do not have to. The Bible tells us God forgives us of our sins, but to be blessed in life by God, we must quit living in our sins. How does a liar quit being a liar? Simple, they always begin to tell the truth. WOW, it is just that easy.

  

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

      Jesus is all about the truth. In fact, in the bible, we read where He is called the Truth. In John 14:6, it says, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” It is so, so good to KNOW THE TRUTH!.

When reading God’s Word, are you searching for the truth?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

    There will not be a Daily Devotion sent out on Sundays. Instead, we encourage you to attend your church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then when you get home, re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
