Last night the girls and I continued our study in "Lies Young Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free". It is outstanding to me that with all the medication and antidepressants used to control and change negative behavior, there is nothing more effective to change than truth. Truth cannot change you though, unless you cooperate with it. Jesus said, "I am the way, the TRUTH and the life." I left the study with a heart cry to the Lord to give me wisdom in seeking the truth in every situation. Satan cloaks situations with ambiguity and deception, but Jesus shines the light on the right way. I also long to help my children learn discernment as they face a very muddled world.
Then the second thing that I noticed in relation to Truth was in Exodus this morning as we were having family devotions. Pharaoh had told the midwives to kill all the male Israelite children that were born. These midwives were not exactly truthful to Pharaoh when they told him they couldn't get to the birth fast enough, but God honored them highly for standing for His truth.
So obviously it's important to get our values from the right Source, and also important to stand strong once we're on the right foundation. I have a feeling that the next 10 or 15 years is going to separate the men from the boys. May we choose right, and stand, no matter what the consequences are. Our destiny in eternity will depend on it, and God help us to lead the "little lambs" straight to Jesus for answers. Their destiny also depends on it.
