Proverbs 24:3-6 says this:
3Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], 4And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 5A wise man is strong and is better than a strong man, and a man of knowledge increases and strengthens his power; 6For by wise counsel you can wage your war, and in an abundance of counselors there is victory and safety.
Remember that "skillful and godly Wisdom" is referring to the Word of God! John 17:17 says this about the Word of God:
17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. AMP
So now that we have established that the Word of God is TRUTH, I want to share with you a portion of the devotion from today in Bob Yandian's "Morning Moments":
FACT vs. TRUTH
1 Timothy 1:18-19 (ESV)
This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith...
The situations and circumstances of the natural world are FACTS. The promises given by God in His Word are TRUTH. If your body is sick, that is simply a fact. The Word says you are healed. That is the Truth. Facts are subject to change, but Truth will never change. Whether you are sick or well, God's Word will always say, "...by whose stripes you were healed." (1 Peter 2:24) Whether you are living in abundance or lack, God's Word will always say, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may proper..." (3 John 2).
For every situation that you face, their will be facts that line up with the Truth, and facts that do not! We must be meditating on the Word of God in order to recognize the Truth! When we see facts that do NOT line up with the Truth, we must change them with the Truth! Speak God's Word over every area of your life and see the FACTS changed by the TRUTH! Amen!
