 SET YOUR HEART ON THE TRUTH

Psalm 119:30
“I have chosen the way of truth; I have set Your ordinances before me.”

There are many competing voices in the world today seeking to gain our attention as believers. As you turn on the TV, scroll through social media or even in your day-to-day interaction with others, you are automatically bombarded with a flurry of opinions and suggestions, yet there is only one view that counts – God’s Word.

As a believer, you must train yourself to not be swayed by popular opinion, but to live only by the truth of God’s word, just like our opening text emphasizes. In a world full of darkness and confusion, the truth of God’s word must be your focus, as you search the scriptures daily to find answers to the questions and situations of life.

Do you have areas of your life where you need counsel? Seek in the Word first. Are there situations in your life or around you that seem to stir up fear in you? Rather than turn to the world for an answer, set your heart to focus on the truth of God’s Word, asking the Holy Ghost to show you the key to a lasting victory in that area. You will find light and direction as you do so.
