• Your Footprint Of Truth Upon Me

   

  "Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
           For You are the God of my salvation;
           For You I wait all the day."

  Psalm 25:5

   To be lead in truth.  To stay on the path.  To be a witness of what is true and not false.

  "Lead me in Your truth"

  The word "lead" in the Hebrew is the word "darak".  It means to tread (bend with the foot) a bow, lead or march. It also denotes "to rub, beat or pound". 

  To get Your footprints of truth all over me!!!!!  Overtake me with Your truth O God!!

  Back to the bending of the bow with the foot.  They would bend the bow with their foot when the bow was very large and strong.  This would clearly describe my pride before the Holy Spirit begins His process with me-large and strong!

  Now what is truth??

  The word "truth" in the Hebrew is the word "'emeth".  It means firmness, faithfulness, sureness, reliability, stability, continuance.  Truth-as spoken, of testimony and judgement, of divine instruction, of true doctrine.

  Could it be that much of our "trials" are simply the Lord "leading" us into his reliability?  Or, "pounding" us with His faithfulness?  Or "rubbing" us with his firmness because of His great love for us???

  I really think so.

  "teach me"

  Have you ever prayed that?  Then I dare say you will find yourself being lead into truth.  The Lords foot has bent me like a large strong bow, that He may lift me up and shoot His arrows of truth upon the target of His choice.

  I am in His hand.  He will use me as His instrument of truth as I am taught and bent in His arm.  He will teach and discipline me for war.  I am in a war.  I need the truth of the King of truth to see me through safely.  This will require that I bend when He puts His foot upon me.  This will require death to self, so that His truth will prevail over my fabricated truth.....the truth that I have made up in my mind that is really no truth at all and opposes His truth.

  That's what His transformation is about: transferring His truth for my "constructed truth" into the very heart and soul of who I am.  As I wait, hope for and expect Him, He will come into my life and lead me into truth and teach me how to win this war on my body and soul.

  Father, I need your leadership in my life.  Help me to see when You are bending me as the bow in Your hand.  Help me to not blame the devil for every hard thing that comes my way, but welcome these trial as from You. You love me and so you will lead me and teach me Your truth.  I wait on You right now.  I take a deep breath of your Holy atmosphere.  I am rejuvinated once again.  Amen.

  

  When you learn the real truth, you will be liberated.  Anything false will always tie you up.
