Christian Devotional – July 4, 2014

Read 1 John chapter 3

VERSE:

1 John 3:19-20–This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

TRUTH:

God is truth, not our hearts. Our feelings can sway and change with time, but nothing changes the truth. God reminds us that if we’ve made a decision to follow Jesus, then we belong to the truth and nothing can change that. Some days we may not feel that way, but our feelings and emotions do not change what actually is the truth. Are we resting in the truth today?

RESPONSE:

Father, I will not believe my feelings, I will believe Your truth. I know that You are truth and through Jesus, I belong to the truth, no matter what I feel today. Keep my heart focused on You and Your truth today.
