God is the TRUTH and the light

The word truth is mentioned 228 times in the NIV version of the bible, 224 times in the KJV version of the bible and 269 times in the NLT version of the bible. Being referenced as many times as it is, it is only fitting that we take TRUTH into great consideration during our spiritual and life journey.

Every year a group of my girlfriends and I go on a mountain retreat. We laugh, cry, pray and hike but the most important part of our trip is the “release” (outside of the bonding). Chacon is the creator of the release processes and although a very simple process on the surface I have found our “release” tradition to be quite the healing mechanism. We each grab a couple of stones and think hard and true about things that we want to let go of or “release” from our lives. Fears, self esteem, love, money issues… all sorts of things have been and will continue to be released from the hills and mountains of Colorado. This year, I released “I can’t because I know I can” but I also released “TRUTH”. I decided on that very weekend that I wanted to do a better job of living in truth, not only in my walk with Christ but in everyday living. Being truthful in my repentance in my prayers, being truthful in my words, works and actions and then I prayed real hard for TRUTH. Well God being who he is granted me the desires of my heart for he knew I was coming to him in TRUTH. I had things revealed that were extremely painful and powerful but that were also TRUE.

Question of the day:
Are you practicing truth in your everyday life? Has there been a point in your life where the TRUTH has set you free?

Scripture:
1 Samuel 12:24
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

My Prayer:
Lord, I continue to seek truth. I pray for others that want to seek the truth in you and in your works and do not know how. I thank you for TRUTH, healing, friends, family, loved ones, trials, tribulations, life and I thank for always being with me. I pray that you continue to use me for I know that all of my wonders and gifts come from you. Bless the eyes and minds that see this, bless those that do not. You are an awesome and wonderful God and I will always praise your name to the highest.

Amen.
