TRUTH reliable, certain; NOT deceiving or misleading

 

Isaiah 59:14-15 (NIV) So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.

 

Ponder this: Do you focus on those things which are reliable and certain? This is not as easy as it may seem to be for we are inundated (i.e., saturated) with ideas and concepts full of deception and misleading information. Think about it—every commercial you see or hear wants to entice you to buy their product often by using misleading or deceiving word choice. Sometimes,  the words may be accurate while the visual picture in the background has been artificially created. Generally, what you see is not what you get. Unfortunately, the same can now be said of news reports and media, even social media. As a Christian, it is our responsibility and duty to seek truth—those things that are reliable, those things that are certain. This requires effort. Are you willing to seek truth?
