Go Tell It!

Those who plot against truth generally use deceptive means. They devise their plans in secret to put a lid on that with which they refuse to agree. They don't want those secret conversations known. However, most often these untruths and their scheming is ultimately revealed even though the denial may continue. May we be encouraged that when we are dealing with the truth, we have NOTHING TO HIDE.

Jesus told his disciples. . .
"(26) So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. (27) What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and WHAT YOU HEAR WHISPERED, PROCLAIM ON THE HOUSETOPS." ( Matthew 10:26-27 ESV)

In the face of the opposition of the religious leaders of the day, Jesus urged His disciples toward boldness in proclaiming what He shared with them privately. They were to have no fear of the truth nor of those who were against it. In private Jesus prepared His followers for their public testimony. They were to remember -- as also are we -- that it is not man's estimation and judgment, but God's (Mathew 10:28) that needs to matter the most.

Our task is to speak what God has revealed. How often do we share what we have read during our personal quiet time with God's Word? That truth and "Good News" are NOT TO BE CONCEALED. Though the truth should be spoken in love ( Ephesians 4:15) we must also recognize it is unloving to withhold the truth. Though it may not always be accepted, the truth of God can stand on its own. Therefore, let us simply continue to share it, providing an ongoing opportunity for its acceptance. It is only truth that can set us free! ( John 8:31-32) Let us freely share!

Have a great day RAISING THE VOLUME ON TRUTH!
