Love and Truth

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

Love and Truth

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.

    Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.

Psalm 89:14 

The Apostle Paul describes the Christian life in Ephesians 4:15: “Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” This is how we live when God has changed us, inside out. This is how we will live when our bearing towards one another arises out of our life in Christ Jesus. As we pursue this way of living, this life in Christ as our way of life, we will have undertaken the most arduous pursuit of our life. Nothing can be more elusive than coupling love and truth as our way of life. Love in truth. Truth in love. One cannot come at the expense of the other.

On August 4, I wrote about weddings. Think about the wedding procession and the attendants preceding the groom and bride. Unfailing love and truth walk before our God as attendants. So also, is this the will of God for His children.

My Takeaway: The pursuit of love and truth is our singular calling.

My book on prayer,

First Think, Then Pray

is now available on Amazon Kindle.

 

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
