Life if filled with moments of truths. Each day presents us with numerous opportunities to embrace truth. What is a moment of truth? A moment of truth is the opportunity we have each time we are faced with decision whether to believe what is true in a situation or what we feel at the moment. Here are some moments of truth that I have experienced. My wife and I have a disagreement, I begin to hear the voice of the enemy accusing her, “she does not love you, she does not care about you” That is a moment of truth. Do I accept the lie or do I hold onto the truth. The truth is that Jody is God’s provision for me. The special one that He chose to be my wife. If I miss that opportunity and agree with the lie our relationship is damaged. Here is another moment of truth. I have blown it, messed up. Almost immediately I will hear the accusations. “You are a failure, idiot” the list goes on. Again I have the choice, do I hold onto what I know is true, or do I make an agreement with the enemy of my soul. My position in Christ is not determined by how well I do. I am chosen, loved and accepted because of Jesus love for me not because can earn it or deserve it. One more example,In Aug of 2002 Jody and I are at the doctors and we have just found out that the pregnancy we were so excited about has gone wrong and the baby is dead. Moment of Truth. Is God really good? How can this happen? We were faced with the decision to trust what we know is true about God or to give into the pain and the despair we felt at that moment. Moments of truth are not easy; often your every instinct will try to tell you that what you feel or think at that moment is what is most true. The accusations can seem so true but they are not. Today as you go about your day look for the moments of truth that will present themselves to you. Ask Jesus to show you what is true about the moment that you face be it big or small.
