Running Toward Truth

You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. -Galatians 5.7-8

We are made to ask tough questions of ourselves sometimes. When we have hit a snag in our lives and we know something is askew. When we have let ourselves give in to the persuasion of others. When we find ourselves feeling so distraught by the uncontrollable things of this world.

This is when we have to slow our running pace, and come to a halt to determine what it is that got us running toward something other than truth. Whatever that persuasion is, whether it is material, intangible, or a person, it has been leading us away from truth and our minds are accumulating the falsehoods. Test what you encounter against the Bible. Does it go against a Biblical truth? Run away from it.

We should be running toward the people, ideas, and pursuits that promote truth. The things that stir your soul and get you inspired to use everything you have for God's glory.
