there
are a lot of kinds of trash out there even in your own mind. do you ever, even in your own mind, get some
trash being tempted to sin. you think,
“even if i commit that sin, GOD’s going to forgive me later.” we all think those kinds of things. if i don’t have some truth in my life, i’m
going to go after the trash.
so how
do you get truth in your life? you’ve
got to go after it. you’ve got to want
it.
proverbs
2.2-5 (ncv), listen carefully to
wisdom. set your mind on
understanding. cry out for wisdom and
beg for understanding. search for it
like silver and hunt for it like hidden treasure. then you will understand respect for the LORD
and you will find that you know GOD.
so
here’s my question: how are you investing in getting the truth into your
life? it’s not going to happen without
an investment. that’s what it
takes. it could be a lot of different
things. it could be taking five or ten
minutes at the beginning of the everyday to read five or ten verses out of the
bible. that’s an investment in the truth
that will pay incredible dividends the rest of your life. because when the troubles come you’ll have
some truth to hold onto to get you through the tough times.
or it
could be joining a bible study. it could
be getting together with a group of people at work to talk about the
truth. it doesn’t have to be people who
go to church. all kinds of people are
looking for the truth and what GOD has to say about the truth. it could be making a decision in your family
spending some together and reading the bible together. there’s a lot of ways to make an investment
in the truth.
just a
thought from the front porch…
