The Search for Truth

The Search for Truth

When Jesus spoke the memorable words, “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” He was speaking to people searching for truth. The people of His day were searching for truth. The religious teachers of the day had elevated traditions over truth (Matthew 15.7-9). People wanted to know the truth. They did not want a variety of truth, but the only truth of God.

Do we want truth, or a variety of truth? We live in a time of variety. For instance, right before the pandemic, the average US food store stocked 33,000 different items. This was four times the choices offered in 1975. In the automotive industry, there were 605,000 different ways to configure or customize your vehicle and that does not include the varieties of color choices.

However, tough times changed due to supply chain turmoil, and we all adapted. Despite the frustration of not being able to get everything we wanted; consumers found greater contentment win fewer choices. In the Wall Street Journal, Ann Gasparro said, “The lesson that many companies are drawing from not being able to please everyone in the pandemic is that maybe they didn’t need to try so hard in the first place.” 

As Christians, we should focus on the simplicity of truth in the Bible over the varieties of what the world offers. Just as Jesus says, the “truth will set us free.” This truth of the Bible is the Word of God. (John 17.17) God gave us His Word to show us the right way to we can be complete and ready for every good work. (2 Timothy 3.16-17).

Are you seeking the truth?

The Search for Truth

How Many Reasons Can You Give?

“The sun comes up; it’s a new day dawning; It’s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me; Let me be singing when the evening comes.”

Those words begin a song written by Matt Redman describing the reasons to give thanks to the Lord. We know that each day is a blessed day. (Psalm 118.24) We know, as Christians, God will take care of us throughout our lives. If He takes care of the birds of the air, He will take care of us. (Matthew 6.26)

How many reasons can you give for offering praise to God?

In an interview with Worship Leadership Magazine, Matt Redman said these words about the song, “10,000 Reasons”:

“The point behind the song is this, if you wake up one morning and you cannot think of a reason to bring God some kind of offering of thanks or praise, then you can be sure there’s something wrong at your end of the pipeline, and not His. We live beneath an unceasing flow of goodness, kindness, greatness, and holiness, and every day we’re given reason after reason why Jesus is so completely and utterly worthy of our highest and best devotion.” 

As you reflect on your life, how many reasons can you give to praise the Lord?

The song, 10,000 Reasons, is based on the words of Psalm 103. In that psalm, David says, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103.2-5)

Are you praising the Lord today?
