Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; — John 8:31

Freedom is one of the most-sought-after things. People die for it. There are prayers for it. People work hard to get it. The only way to be truly free is to know the truth. In the end, obeying Jesus is the only way to know the truth. You can’t just think or believe something to be true. Truth is what you do, what you live. Jesus’s lessons usually end with the words, “Blessed are you who do these things!” We’ll never know the truth that sets us free until we act on it.

Glory, honor, power, and praise be to the one and only true God. Father I want you to enjoy my decisions as well as your presence in my daily life. As I promise to live today in accordance with your word and your will, kindly impart more of your truth to me. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
