Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; — John 8:31

Freedom is one of the most-sought-after things. For it, people die. There are prayers for it. People work hard to get it. The only way to be truly free is to know the truth. In the end, obeying Jesus is the only way to know the truth. You can’t just think or believe something to be true. Truth is what you do, what you live. Jesus’ lessons usually end with the words, “Blessed are you who do these things!” We’ll never know the truth that sets us free until we act on it.

Prayer

Glory, honor, power, and praise go to the only true God. Father I want you to be a part of my everyday life and to like the choices I make. Please teach me more of your truth, and I promise to follow your word and do what you want me to do today. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
