Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I
Psalm 25:1-10
wait all day long.” vs. 5
The psalmist didn’t have the convenience of artificial intelligence or social media, so when he wanted to know the truth he turned to the Lord. The question is, if we wanted to do the same thing, where would we go and what would we do? Would we pore over scripture? Since many of us have been taught to regard the bible as God’s word, that might appear to be our best option. But when we try that, we’re overwhelmed by all the different seemingly contradictory guidance. The bible has been used by people to support every kind of nonsense imaginable. There has to be a better way–and there is! The gospel of John teaches us that the Word of God, the Truth of God, became flesh in the person of Jesus. That means that his words and actions, his life, is the very best guide to the Way of the Lord. So if we’re interested in the truth of God, and we really do want direction for our lives, we can do no better than to turn to the clear message of Jesus. And what does that life look like? He summed it up clearly, “Love the Lord your God, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Everything Jesus said and did is tied to that basic teaching. There is no better guide to life than the way of unconditional love and sacrificial service!
Thought for the Day: Why did I decide to walk in the way of Jesus?
