CHOOSE THE WAY OF TRUTH

January 23

Psalms 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

We do not stumble on the way of truth by accident. Unless we know the Truth we are looking for, we don’t recognize it, and oh, so many have it right by them, and shamefully discard it as they would a common lie. We must study, we must learn and then, we must intelligently, consciously and actively choose the way of truth. We must take a definite concrete executive action that ‘chooses’ the way of truth, and very often, it first has to do with rejecting the way of falsehood.

--It is not enough for a gardener to love flowers; he must also hate the weeds that threaten to choke his flowers.
--It is not enough for one to love fresh vegetables; he must also hate the slugs and worms that destroy the crop.
--It is not enough to love truth; we must also hate lies that pervert his mind and supplants it in our hearts.

We must be militant, yes we must be militant in aggressively ‘choosing’ the way of truth by constantly laying the judgments of God before our heart. As darkness can’t stand the Light and flees from it, so does the spirit of lying flee when the Truth of God’s judgment in His Word comes to us as we read and study it.

Let us today militantly choose the way of truth; let us stop compromising with the wicked judgments and ways of this world and with open hearts and mind lay God’s judgments before us.

2Corinthians 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
