Stunning Truths
Lead me; teach me; for you are the God who gives me salvation. I have no hope except in you. Psalm 25:5 (TLB)
What is a stunning truth? Is it something you want to believe but it’s just too big or difficult to wrap your mind around? Can you believe a stunning truth with all your heart? Me? No, I have to check it out first and test the waters. When it doesn’t seem quite right or even sounds too good to be true, I can’t just jump in the accept it. Prove it! Sarah Young (Jesus Listens) tells us to Velcro these thoughts in our minds.

Glorious God,
I delight in the stunning truth that You will be my Guide even to the end! How comforting it is to know that the One who leads me through each day will never abandon me. You are the Constant I can always count on—the One who goes before me, opening up the way, yet remains close beside me. You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into Glory.
I have a hard time making decisions, so sometimes I’m tempted to be overly dependent on other people. But You have been showing me a much better way. Because You’re my Lord and Savior, I have a completely trustworthy, infinitely wise Leader who is always with me. You guide me in Your truth and teach me, equipping me to make good decisions.
As I journey with You, I’m thankful for the magnificent map You have provided: the Bible. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path. Help me to follow this Light and follow You—for You are the One who knows the best way for me to go.
In Your trustworthy Name, Jesus,
AMEN
