How do we live in truth daily? #1 Read the Bible. But, also pray constantly about God’s ways. God’s commands are good. We usually believe that statement except when we are fighting one of the commands. Instead, take the command you are fighting and say,
#1 This command _________ (fill in the blank with the command you struggle with) is also good. My life will 100% be better when I learn to follow it.
#2 Say, God, you are my miracle, my provider, and my joy.
#3 Say, “God’s ways are best and they start to lead me toward joy.”
What statements/prayers can you focus on that will lead you toward truth?
Second, put on Christian music. Sinful music can easily lead you away from truth. Christian music can often lead you toward truth.
Third, practice rapid repentance. I wish I was like Paul or Joseph from the Bible (Righteous people), but maybe their trick was rapid repentance. The habit of rapid repentance helps us understand why we should live life God’s way. Until we practice rapid repentance, joy will be a mystery.
Fourth, when you have fully repented, ask the Holy Spirit to be your guide. He has a purpose for you.
Finally, we live in truth when we spend time with other believers. Other believers are usually strong in a different aspect of Christianity than we are. Learn how to love, be humble, have faith, or do good works by watching other believers. If they are a powerhouse, loving Christian, get to know them and find out why. Do they have more joy than you? Find out why. Biblical Paul was filled with joy. Why? Because he was way better at living in truth than I am.
