Uncompromising Heart (Daily Devotional)

Welcome everyone! We continue to talk about a devoted heart. Today, we will focus in on an uncompromising heart. When we look at the description of the church, the body of believers, we notice that God calls us the pillar and the ground of truth in 1 Timothy chapter 3, verse 15. So, we as God’s people are supposed to be upholders of the truth that He is and He has given to us. As we continue to look at other passages of scripture, we know that the word of God is truth. In John chapter 17 and verse 17, Jesus said, ‘Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.’ The word of God is the truth and as we meditate further on this, we will understand that God’s truth gives us a standard to live by, whether it has to do with our spiritual walk, family relationships, our work life or our business, it could be anything, there is a standard which is granted for us in the word of God, the truth which is granted for us in the word of God, by which we must align ourselves. So, as God’s people, I want to encourage us to have that heart that always seeks to align to the truth, that never compromises the truth. We have several examples in scripture, whether it is in the Old Testament, people like Joseph and Daniel who were so uncompromising as far as their standards of worship were concerned. As we look at the New Testament, we have instructions by Jesus and by apostles reminding us time and time again that we have the truth to live by and our hearts must be passionate about aligning itself to the truth of God’s word. I want to encourage us; it is going to begin from a place of understanding the truth and this means we will have to spend time in reading the word of God concerning any aspect of our lives. From there, we will be able to understand better what God really wants of us regarding these matters. Also, not just understanding it, living it, but also proclamation of the word. We are living in times where it is so important for us to proclaim the undiluted, uncompromised, pure and complete word of God. Even as we do this, what we are really doing is setting the standard of the truth of God’s word. As the body of Christ, as God’s people, we can be loving in setting these standards because we are called to speak the truth in love and I just want to stir us up once again to have this heat that desires the truth, understands the truth and upholds the truth. Let’s pray together, Heavenly Father, we pray that in our time, we will be like Jospeh, uncompromising, walking in righteousness. We will be like Daniel, completely devoting ourselves to you and I pray that even through our lives, your truth will be upheld. Give us those hearts that are passionate towards your truth, we thank you for doing it in our lives, in Jesus’s name, we pray, Amen.
