A Bowl of Encouragement by Herb Cotton
God Speaks:

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Listen to God Speak & Obey:
What is your go-to source for the truth? What do you believe? Who do you believe? These are three questions we need to examine if we want to know the truth or subscribe to the lies, and to know the difference.
John 17:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
The God of the Bible has something more to say to us about the source of truth. However, it begins and ends with our focal verse for today; John 14:6. Jesus is the truth.
Numbers 23:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
John 8:32 King James Version (KJV)
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Romans 3:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
As for me, here is what I believe: “God said it, and that settles it; whether anybody else believes it or not.”
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Father, I exalt Your name above every name on earth and in heaven.
Father, speak to hearts that are open to knowing and doing the will of God and walking in the footprints of Jesus. We offer up to You our prayers in the name of Jesus, Amen.
