to the Lord’s commands;
that’s love one another,
serve Him with heart and hands.
As from the beginning,
and still now it is heard;
love well one another,
to be true to His word.
His heart is for people,
and so ours should be too;
let us love with our lives,
may our hearts become new.
For when we are in Him,
we recognize what’s true;
He shows us what is false,
lest we’d be deceived too.
Keep eyes on Christ Jesus,
invest time in His word;
for He bestows wisdom,
to know what should be heard.
Steer clear of false teachers,
do not welcome them in;
such ugly deception,
will lead many to sin.
(Responding to 2 John 6-11)
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word that teaches us how we are to live and more of who You are. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit, who clarifies and solidifies what is truth from You. Forgive us for not always being tuned in to what Your Spirit is saying, and teach us how to hear You well. May our time spent with You – in Your word, in worship and in prayer – provide wisdom and propel passion for truth. Help us to hear Your still small voice, so that we can be quick to decipher what is from You, and what is not. Protect our hearts from pride and ignorance, and deepen our wisdom in Your word and Your ways. May many turn to You as we are faithful to walk in truth. Amen.
Dear Shannon, wonderful and beautiful words. I always declare that the Spirit of Truth is in me. Therefore I cannot be deceived. That I make the right choices. That I walk in the light of God’s word. And that wisdom is working in me. Thank you so much. The word of God is reality.
Thank you. His word is light and life, and provides the path for us to walk, indeed. Blessings and thank you for visiting! 🙂
