‘Deliver
me, O Lord, from lying lips’ (Psalm 120:2). God calls us to ‘believe
the truth’, ‘love the truth’ and ‘follow the truth’. We are to be people
who ‘do what is true’ (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11; 3 John 3-4; John 3:21).
How can we be such people? We must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. He is
‘the Truth’ (Hebrews 12:2; John 14:6). When we are tempted to turn away
from the pathway of truth, we must remember this: ‘My help comes from
the Lord’. We must remember God’s promise: ‘The Lord is your
Keeper...The Lord will keep you from all evil’. God’s promise is not
only for ‘this time’. It’s ‘for evermore’(Psalm 121:2,5,7-8). This gives
us glorious hope as we keep on looking to Christ,‘eagerly awaiting’ His
Return ( Hebrews 9:28).
