“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”John 8:32 NLT
Knowing Jesus and His ways is knowing the truth. When we struggle with what appears to be truth, we can go to Him for His version of truth. Only His version has the power to set us free.
I have made a stand on what I have known to be truth, but there is no peace there. Therefore, I must go to Jesus for His truth.
Jesus said, “My yoke is easy, my burden is light.” If I am feeling heavy laden then I must examine my load in His light. What is He saying? What would He have me do?
Lately I am pressing on towards my final exams and the work is challenging. However, pressure from outside of school coming from people with financial needs are attempting to make me angry and frustrated and lose my peace. Just because someone says they are in trouble and need my help does not mean I must be the source of their help. Wisdom in management of one’s own affairs could solve some of the problems. I am not God and do not carry all the answers.
There is another aspect here also, I may need to grow and not be affected by the demands I face. I have more capacity than I know and perhaps God wants me to expand.
This is where I need my God’s truth. Only His truth suffices! Amen!
