And you shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free. John 8:32
God’s
truth never restricts you; it always sets you free! Are you discouraged? Is
there a sense of bondage in a particular area of your life? A lack of victory
over a certain sin? A harmful addiction? It is possible that you do not yet
understand a truth about God that can release you.
If you
feel powerless to meet the challenges before you, take encouragement from the
promise of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me.” If you are defeated by circumstance, hold on to the truth of
Romans 8:28 that God can work your most difficult situation into His good. If
you are enslaved to a particular sin, work the truth of 1 John 1:9 into your
life, which promises that if you confess your sin, God is faithful to cleanse
you from all unrighteousness. All of these truths await the Holy
Spirit’s implementation into your life.
It is one
thing to know about the truth. It is yet another thing to experience
the truth of God being worked out in your life. God’s truth will have no effect
upon you unless you accept it and believe it. Perhaps you have already read and
heard accounts of God working mightily in the lives of others. But have you
allowed God to implement those truths into your life? What truth about God
would you like to be experiencing in your life? Ask Him to implement that truth
into your life today.
