Seeking Truth

We’ve been talking about hearing from God, but sometimes that can feel so hard.  There is so much noise.  The noise of busyness, the noise of other people’s needs, the noise of our own brokenness and needs.

Often the hardest things to hear, are the things we desperately want to hear.  It’s a catch 22, I want to hear God tell me something, but because I so desperately want to hear it, I discredit it as my own voice when He speaks.

So today, I just want to take a moment and remind each of us of some fundamental truths.  I’ve chosen to write them as I statements.  Will you read them, ponder them and let God seal the truth of them into your mind, into your heart.?

Standing on the truth

Did you feel it.  Did you feel the power of those words and the love of your Father as you read them? Did you also feel the dismissal, the rejection, the “yes, yes but…?” 

The enemy is quick to move when when we walk into God’s truth.  When we move closer to owning our Identity, the voices of diminishment and disqualification quickly rise above the others. Accusation and discouragement join in as they cause us to hesitate to claim these truths.

But accusation is not from God.  Correction can be, but correction does not diminish Truth.

I am who I am because of whose I am. These statements are true, not because I’ve earned them, but simply because God says so. I am the daughter of the King. That identity is secured because of who He is, not what I do.
