THE TRUTH OF GOD

“The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.”  Psalm 119:160
       What is truth?  As defined, it is the ultimate ground of reality, both faithful and constant.  Is there anything that is true at all times?  The only constant in the world is change.  It is in a constant state of flux, ever moving, ever modifying, never the same.  The only constant I have found in this continuously changing world we live in is God and His standards.  They have stood the test of time and continue to remain true to this day.  Change can bring a certain sense of instability; especially when it’s continuous and relentless.  Real truth is the bedrock on which we can successfully build our lives and as a result find stability, fulfillment and peace. 
       According to the great evangelist and preacher Charles Spurgeon, “God's word has been true from the first moment in which it was spoken, true throughout the whole of history, true to us from the instant in which we believed it, and true to us before we were true to it.”  American author Maxwell Anderson has been quoted as saying, “Truth’s like a fire, and will burn through and be seen.”  There is a burning quality about God’s truth, for it will burn deep into the soul of a man causing him grief until he responds to it’s call. 
       French philosopher and author Albert Camus once said, “Truth, like light, blinds.”  Like Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus, men too can be blinded by the truth that is the light of God.  For the believer, the truth of God can be many things.  It can be an instrument of hope and encouragement or it can also be a weapon to ward off evil.  This multi-faceted tool is at our disposal, for God has never concealed it from any of us.  It is in the seeking of it that we find it freely and clearly to establish or in some cases, reestablish our firm foundation for living.  God is truth.  Even though it can be difficult to wrap our minds around that, understanding is not necessarily required.  Faith, belief and trust are.  Embrace God for the truth He represents and live accordingly.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
