Today’s Scripture

In reality, the truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. Opposition to truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as his eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse. Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor him as God or even be thankful for his kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like. This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness. Although claiming to be super-intelligent, they were in fact shallow fools.

Romans 1:19-22

Today’s Thought

We must educate ourselves in the truth of God’s Word; it’s our responsibility to know what He has spoken… The rebellion of mankind against God’s truth is evident all around us… Never allow the foolish to conform your understanding of truth from God’s Word… Never compromise the truth for the foolish.

Today’s Confession

Thank you, Lord, for the truth of your Word. Help me to gain a better understanding of what you have spoken and help me to never compromise my understanding of the truth to fit in with the world. Help me to always pursue the truth above all else.
