Day 26: "My Word Will Teach You What Is True"

Day 26: "My Word Will Teach You What Is True"

Read: 2 Timothy 3:14 - 16

This morning my wife and I are up in Bethel New York which is 2 hours south of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. She was invited by a long time Pastor friend of hers to preach at his churh here. She is preaching from Mark 10:35 - 45 on "Servanthood". So thismorningand tomorrow I am taking the devotion directly from the book titled "Listening to God" by Bruce Bickel.

"What is truth? That's one of the most important questions you could ever ask and answer.

When you find the truth, you've found everything. Truth will never let you down because when you get to the bottom line, truth is anything that corresponds to the way things really are.

As you sort through your life, start with the biggest truth of all -- then work your way down from there. And what is the biggest truth? It is GOD. GOD is the grandest reality of all.

But GOD is not some abstract philisophical equation, such as GOD equals truth. GOD is personal and loving. GOD wants a relationship with you, something GOD has made clear to you in His Word.

When you read GOD's Word, you are encountering GOD'S truth personally. Everything GOD said in GOD's Word -- the stories, poetry, history, prophect, biographies of Jesus, and letters to the churches -- are there to teach you what is 'true'.
