Discovering the Truth: Is It True?
Truth – a simple, five-letter word, but it’s the foundation upon which our lives are built. Have you ever been swayed by a piece of gossip or a whisper that questioned your beliefs or even your identity? It’s human nature to wonder and seek reassurance. Today, let’s explore this – “Is it true?”
Trusting in God’s Word
When doubt starts creeping in, we should turn to the one true source of eternal truth – God’s Word. The Bible, filled with timeless wisdom, offers clarity and assurance. Psalm 119:160 (NIV) tells us, "All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal." Here, we find the ultimate affirmation that we can trust what God says.
Reflecting on Experiences
Think back to moments where you questioned something significant. Reflect on the journey of discovering the truth. What emotions did you go through? How did you resolve your doubts? Remember, questioning doesn’t mean you lack faith; rather, it can strengthen your belief. John 8:32 says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Freedom comes from understanding and accepting the truth.
Application Questions
-
What truths about yourself or your faith have you doubted recently?
-
How can you use God’s word to reaffirm these truths?
-
Who in your life can you turn to for guidance and wisdom when seeking the truth?
Seeking Support in Community
Isolation can often magnify doubts, but community brings perspective and support. Join a Bible study group, attend church, or engage with online faith communities. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Reflect on the wisdom shared by others. Their past experiences can shed light on your current journey and help you discern what is truly from God. Community acts as a mirror, reflecting God’s truth back to us when we need it most.

Pray for Clarity: Ask God to reveal the truth to you, to open your heart and mind to His word.
