Other Frontiers Where Truth Speaks

More manifestations of acknowledged truth in our lives...

With our Actions
The second way in which we acknowledge truth is by our actions. This is where the Holy Ghost begins to confirm His presence in our lives. See, I can SAY that I am a Christian, and yet it would be by our actions that they would “know” that we are God’s own.

There are times where we have to admit by our actions that we acknowledge the truth of God. Many times it is the actions that speak loudly.
I believe that it was Abraham Lincoln that said, a paraphrase, “Don’t tell me what you are while your actions shout to the opposite.”

So we acknowledge truth with our actions. Often the transgression of Truth happens in the arena of actions. There is a demand placed on us that is quite clear that there must be a marked difference in our lives and those in the world that are children of the world.

With our Pens
Often in life, there has to be more than just an acknowledgement of truth in our lives by our mouths or actions, and that is that I must commit to truth with a pen and paper. Try getting a loan for a house without it. . . I suppose you might, but probably will not be able to do so. And so it is with our lives. We probably should commit ourselves to writing out the Truth that we find in the scripture. It is a way of understanding what God has given to us.

Ultimately, though, it is in our minds that acknowledging truth actually comes. It is in the space between our ears that we understand and acknowledge the truth of scripture. Those beautiful passages that teach us great truth are just beautiful parts of a good book until they resonate in our lives.. . Truly, it is not an external issue. Truth stands whether we acknowledge it or not. Yet there is a very necessary bending of our wills and our lives to the Truth. I am not ultimate Truth. Jesus Christ is ultimate Truth.

It is my responsibility to obey the words that were given by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. It is my responsibility to bow my head at the Truth.

Scripture reveals that there is a tremendous battle for the mind.. . .and sometimes it is wrestling over truth. It is important to acknowledge truth. It is essential.
There are certain things that are essential to acknowledging-
• There is one who is both the Alpha and the Omega
• There is only one way to heaven, laid out in Acts 2
• He alone is God and I am not.
• He holds tomorrow. And while tomorrow may hold some things that I don’t understand, and much less like, He is still the pilot of my ship, and though some may trust in chariots and horses, I will trust in Him.

It seems to me that what we also battle in the unknown that causes us the most pain and injury. As previously mentioned, Daniel was a prime example of this. But Peter, held in a jail, his head at stake to be removed tomorrow, yet he went to sleep. It was in the known that Peter would rest.

There is something about acknowledging truth in our minds that will have great impact on the outward expressions of our love for Him.
