Exhausted.
Alone.
No hope.
Until . . . they heard a message . . . words of Truth . . . words they had never heard . . . and the words changed them. They mulled, meditated, and talked over the words.
The truth of the words became evident, providing clarity, and producing transformation.
What happens when we open ourselves to words of Truth?The impact of Truth changes who we are and what we do: I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. (Ezekiel 36:26)
The heart defines who we are. We become hardened . . . described as a heart of stone . . . without Truth. Yet . . . we are transformed . . . with a new heart and a new spirit . . . as Truth breaks the stronghold of untruth.They were grateful for the words that changed them. The words were not just one chapter of their life but became their new story. We are not free until we receive the words of God . . . thinking, speaking, and singing words of Truth just as the people did in the ancient days:
Pharaoh's chariots and his army
he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh's officers
are drowned in the Red Sea.
The deep waters have covered them;
they sank to the depths like a stone. (Exodus 14:4-5)
The words of Truth declared a new life on the other side of the Red Sea. The thing is . . . we become new as the power of Truth breaks the stronghold of untruth. Jesus gave clarity to the power of His words of truth: Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)
Be freed by receiving words of Truth.
Evaluate and get the words that are untrue out of your mind.
Read, study, and meditate on God's words of Truth.
Think, speak, and sing the words of Truth over and over.
Let the words of Truth transform you.
Live this day with a new heart and new spirit.
Learning to KickStart the day through the power of the words of Truth,
