As a believer, your faith is not based upon your opinion, but upon the truth of God.<\/p>\n<p>Truth is different from opinion because it is founded in the nature, the character, and the will of God. Truth is different from opinion because Truth is eternal. Truth is different from opinion because truth is not influenced by national interests, personal interests, or cultural interests. Nations rise and fall, cultures come and go, and personal interests can differ from one life to the next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth is a plumb line<\/strong> by which every life, nation, and culture can measure itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth is an anchor<\/strong> for the soul of every life, nation, and culture that wants to hold steady against the winds of adversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth is a light<\/strong> to the path of every life, nation, and culture that seeks to walk free from the deceptions that lead it into darkness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth is the power<\/strong> that exalts a life, nation, and culture that desires to be kept from falling downward into reproach and shame.<\/p>\n<p>Let the words of truth be in your love songs; Let the knowledge of truth be in your prayers; Let the practice of truth be in your kindnesses; Let the beauty of truth be in your worship; Let the utterance of truth be in your proclamations; Let the choices of truth be in your character; Let the celebration of truth be in your praise.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important parts of our legacy is to have followed the path where God\u2019s truth has taken us.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day<\/em>.\u201d <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Psalm 25:5<\/strong><\/span> (NKJV)<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/authors_\/roy-lessin\">Roy Lessin<\/a><br \/>Used by Permission<\/p>\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"formidable-css\" href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/wp-content\/cache\/wpfc-minified\/7ikve452\/7xhw2.css\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\"\/>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">FURTHER READING<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <a class=\"gs-title\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/mary-pinckney_walk-obedience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=018000692697650831571:1ldy75sk9ha&amp;q=https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/mary-pinckney_walk-obedience\/&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjZ9oGF7eCDAxUfATQIHS3-CssQFnoECAEQAg&amp;usg=AOvVaw2KtqUh36xrUIwoG9aLliGt\" data-ctorig=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/mary-pinckney_walk-obedience\/\"><strong>The Walk of\u00a0<\/strong><b>Obedience <\/b><\/a>\u2013 by Mary Pinckney<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<strong> <a class=\"gs-title\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/idelette-mcvicker_blessed-obedience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=018000692697650831571:1ldy75sk9ha&amp;q=https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/idelette-mcvicker_blessed-obedience\/&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjZ9oGF7eCDAxUfATQIHS3-CssQFnoECAgQAg&amp;usg=AOvVaw2A44MgGgq2iefd8FHo3xA7\" data-ctorig=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/idelette-mcvicker_blessed-obedience\/\">Blessed\u00a0Obedience<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 by Ideletter McVicker<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <strong><a class=\"gs-title\" dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/jon-walker_risky-obedience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=018000692697650831571:1ldy75sk9ha&amp;q=https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/jon-walker_risky-obedience\/&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjZ9oGF7eCDAxUfATQIHS3-CssQFnoECAMQAg&amp;usg=AOvVaw2vGC6cc4IbTbevRIFYfQvn\" data-ctorig=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/jon-walker_risky-obedience\/\">God Requires Risky\u00a0Obedience<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 by Jon Walker<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUBSCRIBE BY EMAIL:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/subscribe-by-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FOLLOW THIS LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>Follow Us On:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/devotions\/posts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/About_God\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thoughtsaboutgod.daily\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a> \u2022\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/thoughtsabout\/daily-devotionals\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thoughts-about-god.com\/blog\/roy-lessin_opinion-or-truth\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFor everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
