Hebrews
6:18 / Psalms 51:6 / John 8:32
HABIT 2: Your Truth Life Preserver
From your "sit place with God," know that He is the God of
Truth. He will never lie to you. He is Truth and the only words that He will
speak to you are true, healing, and life words. It is imperative that truth be
at the core of your being to protect you from all distortions and deceptions.
Truth is your life preserver when the storms of life blow in and you
feel like you have been swept into emotional, raging waters. It is important to
hold onto God's true words until you are fully rescued from whatever storm has
blown in, until you are completely set free! Do not stop believing, trusting
Him and His true words until you are living in the fullness of freedom.
Your words, your self-talk, and your everyday thoughts need to match
God's words. Ask yourself: are these God words or enemy words? Then choose to
come into agreement with God's words that will help you, offering you grace and
hope in your situation. Remember, what you believe is what you will do. Be
reminded that thinking and confessing truth is not the same as believing
truthfully, your choices and responses all aligning with God's truth—your truth
in the midst of your challenge.
Reflection
First, write down what
beliefs will you hold on to everyday, no matter the struggle; for example: God
is good to me, God loves me, and God is with me. Second, write down what lies do
you believe when difficulties enter into your day, your life? Third, write down
what God personally shares with you, His true words to help you replace those
lies in your time of difficulty. Hold on to these words, your behaviors and
responses in agreement until the storm passes and your freedom is secured.
