32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (‭‭‭John‬ ‭8‬‬:‭32‬ ‭NIV)
If you ask a simple question to a room full of people, you will surely get many different explanations of what the truth is to your question. Truth is found within a person’s heart, so whatever is in a person’s heart is truth to them. This is the same for believers and unbelievers. Whatever is in our heart is what we believe in. The only real truth is God’s Holy Word written within the Bible. But for those that do not believe in God the Father and Jesus Christ His Son, the truth does not live in them and so God’s Word is not spoken through them. Jesus is telling the people and us that when we hold to His teachings, we are really His disciples and that we will know the truth. Jesus goes on to say that when we know the truth, the truth will set us free and we will no longer be slaves to sin. I love the way Jesus speaks of the truth in John 14:6. “6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
The only real way to know the truth is to allow Jesus to live on the inside of us, and the only way for that to be, is for us to ask Jesus to come into our lives as Lord and Savior.
Ask Jesus and His Truth to come into your heart and be set free, and be blessed.

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. (‭‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121‬‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV)
Many false religions looked to the mountains and high places seeking help from gods that did not exist. In verse 1, I believe that David is speaking the verse more as a statement than a question when he says, where does “my” help comes from.
David put his full trust in the Lord. He knew that God would never let him down. He even speaks in verses 3 and 4 that God will neither slumber nor sleep, but that He is always watching over us all.
In my early thirties I learned to put my trust in the Lord for all of my needs and concerns, but most of all for my salvation. When my children were born, I put my trust in God that He would watch over them and keep them safe. They are all adults now and I still pray God’s hedge of protection over them everyday, and I know in my heart that He will always be there for us all. Verse 8 tells us, “8
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.”
Put all of your hope and trust in the Lord as David did, and be blessed.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (‭‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭1‬‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV)
To describe the fear of the Lord in my own words: I believe that it is not saying that God is mean and just waiting for us to do something wrong so that He can strike us down. To fear the Lord is to understand who and what He is. The Lord is God almighty. He is powerful, mighty, and majestic in all ways. He is the creator of the heavens and earth, and He created you and I individually for a purpose. But most of all, God is the true description of love. To fear the Lord is to stand in awe of who He is and all of His power and wisdom.
Today’s verse tells us that the beginning of all knowledge is to stand in awe of God and all of His glory. But to really know the Lord, is to surrender ourselves to God completely and put Him first in our lives. To do that, we must be in God’s Word daily and to spend time with other like minded people, mentoring each other, and trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide us. The verse ends by telling us that fools despise wisdom and instruction. To me, that is the description of pride, to actually think that we can do anything on our own without God and His wisdom.
Fear the Lord, stand in awe of His Majesty, and be blessed.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (‭‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NIV)
All of these different fruits of the Spirit are true blessing to both the receiver and the giver. Many of us may possess some or even all of these fruits in our lives each day.
Paul begins the list of fruits with the word Love. As someone else has written, “love is the soil by which the other fruits grow.” Without love, the fruits of the Spirit benefit the person that possess the fruits. But with love, everyone benefits from the person that possesses the fruits of the Spirit. For what is any of the fruits without love making them flourish. Each of these fruits when shown with love become contagious. But without love, they are just good qualities seen in a person. Each of these fruits are gifts of the Spirit, given to us as gifts to share with others as gifts to bless them as well. But just like any other gift, what is a gift if not given in love?
Allow the fruits of the Spirit to be seen growing in your life, nurtured by love, and be blessed.

2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (‭‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV)
Today’s verse and chapter is a song of praise to God after God delivered David from his enemies, and his father-in-law Saul, whom wanted David destroyed. But David’s praise for the Lord was not only during victory or when things were going well with David. David was a righteous man and he had a true relationship with God. David knew that when he cried out to the Lord, the Lord always heard his prayers. “6
In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.”
David knew that God was the same God in the darkest valley that He is in the highest mountains.
I see this verse as a reminder to us all that God is always with us, with His arms stretched out to protect, comfort, and guide us in our lives. God is more than welcoming us to cry out to Him. God’s desire is that we lean into Him for all of our needs and concerns. As the verse says, God is our rock, our fortress, our deliverer, and our stronghold in times of need, and above all, the horn of our salvation.
“49
Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.”
Praise the Lord on your worst days even more than your good days, just because you can, and feel His love wrap around you.
Be blessed.
