Devotionals
One morning I read John 17:17 “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” NKJV.
It spoke to my heart and kept pondering about it.
I decided to make a little word study out of it because yesterday, the same word “truth” was explained in a magazine I was reading.
The Hebrew way of writing “truth” is with the letters Aleph, Mem and Tav = emet. The Aleph and the Tav are the beginning and the final letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Beth and the Mem sits right in the middle.
In the Old and New Testament it is made clear enough who is the Beginning and the End and who the middle – the Messiah and Mediator.
So it is a life-spanning word from the beginning, through the middle, towards the end.
Just walk with me through the concordance and you will see what an excellent word it is, and the great company of words which come along with the truth.
* The only true God. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. The Spirit of truth.
* We are admonished to speak the truth, to love it, to acknowledge it, to worship in spirit and in truth, to believe it, to testify about it, to walk in the truth, to be sanctified and cleansed by it and to gird ourselves with it and to work together for the truth.
* The truth fits also in the following company of words: grace, love, light, peace, faith, knowledge, godliness and freedom. You will know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
* It is not good to stray from it, to turn your back to it or leave the path of truth.
It is indeed a word for life, a word for every day and every occasion, a word to keep high in the banner of your life.
Philippians 4:8, 9b
“Finally, brethren (and sisters),whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things… these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
