DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 3; Psalm 102; Acts 26:1-18
They bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not
valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to
evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 9:3
Unbelievers are not “valiant for the truth,” but believers should be.
In a world of lies and deception, Christians proclaim that there is absolute
moral and spiritual truth. The “truth is in Jesus” (Eph. 4:21),
and He said, “Thy word is truth” (Jn. 17:17). May God help us then
to be “valiant for the truth”. Let us affi rm that there is moral truth,
right and wrong, and that sin will know the judgement of God. And
let us proclaim that Christ is the Saviour of sinners through His sacrifi
cial death on the cross. —Donald Norbie
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them abideth.
The Spirit and the gift s are ours, through Him who with us sideth. —Luther
