Day 6
"Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness." Ephesians 6:14 (NLT)
Paul introduces us to the first piece of the armor, telling us to stand our ground, surrounding ourselves with truth.
Truth is probably one of the most controversial philosophic issues of our day. People have argued "what is truth?" and "is there such a thing as absolute truth?" for years.
But the questions asked is where we miss the answer. Truth is not a "what," but a "Who." Jesus told us "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (John 14:6) Truth is personified in Christ. We cannot know truth simply through knowledge and learning more facts, but through experience.
We do not experience knowledge or information, but rather experience involves an interaction with a person or people. Paul is inviting us to engage Jesus as Truth allowing Him to show us and explain to us "what is truth."
Truth is part of our defensive posture, because when we stand in the truth of God's love and grace for us, we are able to dispel the lies of the enemy that are thrown at us everyday.
Take time today to ask Jesus to show you and speak to you truth about your situation and your life.
Prayer: "Jesus, I believe you are Truth. Reveal truth to me today and show me your grace for this day and my life forever. In Your name I pray, Amen."
