Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
‘…Put on the new self, created to be
like God…’ Ephesians
4:24 NIV
It’s one thing to desire truth, but to pursue it you must ‘…Put off your old self…and…put on the new self, created to be like God…’ (Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV).
One author writes: ‘We
must be willing to have the conversations our “old self” would have avoided…
It’s not easy…it requires heavy doses of humility, and accepting that we’re
going to be uncomfortable… The quickest remedy is the most immediate and
uncomfortable: “fessing up” in the moment. I tried it.
At a
party some women were discussing involvement in an organization and I wanted to
fit in, so I said I’d tried to get involved but could never break in… I knew I
was a liar. I never had any desire to spend my time doing that…committees give
me a rash! So, though my intent was good, my delivery was clumsy as I blurted
out, “Sorry, I just lied to you. I never volunteered there and I’ve no desire
to.” Everyone was silent, and I was trying to recall where I left my purse so I
could high tail it out of there, when miraculously everyone burst out laughing…
No matter how uncomfortable it is…the truth sets us free.
Pursuit
of truth is like a salmon’s upstream journey; we’re literally going against the
current…the world says truth can change based on circumstances, comparisons,
new data and levels of experience. But ultimate truth isn’t relative. It can’t
be rationalized or customized to fit our moods and preferences. That’s why the
status of our heart is so important…when we’re unable or unwilling to think our
way into the truth, we must rely on the cultivation of our heart.’
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your
Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart. Lord I thank you for the
Word of Truth that you gave to us. As you have said Lord your Word is Truth and
You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one can go to the Father except
through me. Lord thank you for your Word because your commandment is pure
rejoicing the heart. As David says your Word is the lamp to my feet and a guide
to my path. Thank you for guiding our life by your Word. Lord empowers us
always by meditating regularly your Word and put this Word into action and thus
you will be please Lord for our living in Truth for your glory. In Jesus Name,
Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of
all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior
Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now
saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus
you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God.
