It's me again God,

Sometimes it's hard to know what to believe when it comes to the news. Various sources can be all heading in a similar but unhelpful direction or leaving important things out. Truth can be very hard to come by even by sources we may have trusted in the past.

How blessed I am to know that when I open Your Word, I will always find truth! The Bible has been the one very stable, enduring source of truth for generations of Christians! It's no wonder that it has been such an influential book over so many years and indeed a best seller!

The Bible is Your Word to me and I know it is consistent with Your character, with who I have personally found You to be:

"He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he."
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

You Lord are the one true God:

"Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the one true God; whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the one true God. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes."
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

When Jesus came, it was clear that He was part of the trinity as Your Son:

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So in seeing Jesus, I am seeing Your very glory!

"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Jesus acknowledges clearly that Your Word is truth:

"Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth."
‭‭John‬ ‭17:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In a world of many changing thoughts, fads and opinions, I love the fact that Your Word is something that will last forever!

"For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God."
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thank You that in a Jesus I am born again and that I have this firm foundation of truth that I can continue to build my faith on! I am so blessed that I can talk to You, knowing that I am coming to the ultimate authority and that Jesus is the very way, the truth and the life!

In His Name,
Amen.
