Genuine Truth

"I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth."

~ Jeremiah 33:6 NKJV

"Years ago my mother was invited to a very prestigious dinner party in London, England. As she conversed, Mother discovered that the distinguished-looking older gentleman seated beside her was the former head of Scotland Yard, Great Britain's equivalent of the FBI. Fascinated, she respectfully began to probe him for anecdotes. As he opened up under her genuine interest, he revealed that the departments under his authority had included those for forgery and counterfeiting. When she surmised that he must have spent a lot of time studying counterfeit signatures, he corrected her, 'On the contrary, Mrs. Graham. "I spent all my time studying the genuine thing. That way, when I saw a counterfeit, I could immediately detect it.'

"My mother's dinner partner had unwittingly touched on a very important principle. If you and I want to be able to detect counterfeit truth, we need to immerse ourselves in the real thing. We need to saturate ourselves in the truth of the Word of God."

~ By Anne Graham Lotz
