Recently, my 15-year-old godson had some time in the car with my husband, Freeman, on the way to basketball practice. Later that evening, he told his mom that Uncle Freeman had dropped some “truth bombs” on him during the ride. Essentially, Freeman gave him some perspective about a few things that made the life of this teen a little bit better.
May I drop a truth bomb on you–about Truth?
In our day-to-day lives, facts can challenge us. It can be a fact that you’ve seen test results about a negative health condition. Or your fact could be a very low bank account balance. Maybe it’s a fact that a relationship has started to decline. But, facts aren’t absolute–they are always subject to change. They are influenced by so many different elements.
However, Truth IS absolute. It does not change. Truth has the power to set you free from the “facts” of your health, your finances, your relationship issues, etc.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. – John 8:32
Another way to say that is “knowing the Truth is freeing”. I’m so glad that Jesus dropped this truth bomb!
When you KNOW God’s love for you, it frees you from fear and torment.
Knowing that the promises of healing, provision, and protection found in God’s Word are meant for you, frees you to expect the best out of life.
Here’s another truth bomb that Jesus dropped as He prayed to the Father–
Your word is truth. – John 17:17
By definition, Truth is unchanging; it is certain. Truth is absolute and it’s above all else. It is complete in itself, is independent of anything else, and has inherent power. God’s Word is all of those things.
I pray that in the midst of your issues today, no matter how challenging or long lasting they may be, you will recognize you don’t have to be stuck in the facts of your life. Your facts are subject to change so choose to focus on the truth– God’s Word –and get FREE!
