2. Truth is our foundation
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Your loins girt about by truth! Your loins?
I read this as a kid and thought it said LIONS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH!
IM A LION AND IM GIRT’N ABOUT – TRUE DAT!
What does this mean!
Back then your loins or now better called “BELT” is what held all your armor together! Like a big girdle that held all your armor in place… in fact back in battle if you could cut through the girdle of a man you knew he was most likely to die… not because you wounded him, but rather because it left the rest of his armor tangled and jumbled around his body.
It would be the difference between going to the airport with no suitcase just all your stuff in your hands versus having everything neatly packed in a big solid samsonite case.
Truth is your foundation! If you do not walk in truth in your life, your Christian walk is a mess!
If you walk in truth in only portions of your life you are not only a mess but a miserable hypocritical mess!
How do lie detectors work? When we lie our own body gives us away. A level of internal stress is generated that is undetectable to us, but not to our subconscious. This stress generates measurable physiological effects, blood pressure, pulse rate, perspiration and respiration. We can lie to others, but never to ourselves or to God!
Truth is not established by a feeling, someone else’s opinion or the newest media agenda- it’s like trying to change the rules of math!
2+2=4 that’s the truth,
God’s ways are best = that is truth!
We all see the truth differently due to our back ground!
For instance!
When children are sexually abused there internal trust compass get’s smashed. They may not be able to voice what happened, but the original God given trust that each child should have gets broken. It leaves a mutilated psyche that though it may be buried in the subconscious it twists every relationship through that pain. Pure innocent trust becomes almost impossible.
So if truth is to be our foundation in life, it is so important than we must have some basis in which to guide ourselves by!
God’s word washes us with his word to give us a clear understanding of what truth is AND becomes a guide to discernment regarding others we do life with!
What does the bible say about the word of God?
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Do you want to make life easier? Know the will of God… by having his word renew your mind!
Are you beginning to see why Satan hates the truth. He is the father of lies… but if we know the truth his power is taken away!
