And the truth shall make you free

When is it heard of that bad triumphs over good? When is it better to lie than tell the truth? Where is written that the best defense is to take the broad road and not the narrow? My son says to me, Mom not everything is peaches and cream. He is blaming me because I dared to tell him "tell the truth" and that is what is now being challenged in a court of law. The bible tells me the truth makes us free. It tells me that the truth will always triumph. Yes, I have been tempted to doubt. Yes, I have questioned the rightness of my decisions. Yes, I have felt, am even now feeling the backlash of insisting upon the truth. Yet, in a way that is hard to explain, I feel okay. It is well. It is not what I see before me that is on trial. I believe it is God's word on trial. He is His own defense lawyer. I simply have to trust Him and His word. The truth will make us free.

God is my vision

What are my expectations of God?
 Are they greater, bigger, better, best?
Today, I read from Oswald Chambers
"My Utmost For His Highest", and it
Started me thinking. Actually, it was more
Than that. It reminded me of what I had forgotten
And gave me a fresh revelation at the same
Time.
When I have no vision, I will cast off restraints
(Proverbs 29:18). Here is the revelation;
Of what or whom is my vision? Oswald, combined
With the revealer Himself, lifted my eyes to
God.
My vision must be of God. It cannot be focused
Around my mortal imaginings, but of One
Far greater than myself.
Jesus, the 2nd part of the trinity. He is far greater
Than I. He is my vision.

As I sat, praying the lyrics from forever Jones
"You Can Do Anything" surrounded my consciousness.
My vision saw a God who could do anything.
"He walked on water, turned water into wine,
God of creation, Saviour divine...beyond my wildest
Dreams...(God can do anything)
