MUSIC FOR DAY 24: PILGRIMAGE TO TRUTH

PRAYER

God of Truth, I exalt Your name. There are many voices and many points of view, but there is only one Truth. Your truth is absolute, pure, liberating, and powerful.

Thank You for the Truth embodied, revealed, and made known to mankind through Jesus. Thank You for the freedom, the privilege, and the ability to read and study Your Word.

Forgive me when I neglect the importance of Your Word and when I allow the secular world to shape my thoughts and behaviors.

Give me an insatiable hunger for Your truth. Never let me stop seeking it. Never let me think I already know enough of it. Give me the ability to discern and expose lies and distorted truths. Enable me to stand up for You when the world rejects absolute truth, and people craft their customized versions of the truth to fit their preferences.

Because You are the God of Truth, I declare that I submit myself to live according to Your Word. Your truth will purify me and set me free.

A FEW FACTS…

• El Emet (אֵל אֱמֶת) is usually translated as "God of Faithfulness" or "God of Truth”, and sometimes as "God of Truth and Faithfulness".
• The Hebrew word emet (אֱמֶת), meaning truth, comes from the root word aman (אָמַן), a verb meaning to support or make firm, and is also the root of the word amen (אָמֵן).
• The word emet (אֱמֶת), which means truth, consists of the first, middle, and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet: aleph (א‎‎), mem (מ‎), and tav (ת‎). This arrangement indicates that truth encompasses all things and endures from the beginning to the end.
• "The Seal of God is truth." Rabbinic sages called emet "the seal of God" because the final letters of the three words that conclude the account of creation in Genesis 2:3 spell the word emet. Sages believe that God placed His Name, emet (אֱמֶת), meaning truth, in the opening chapters of the Torah, emphasizing the significance of truth as a divine attribute.

SMILE & BREATHE

Prepare yourself to meet Him in a quiet space, relaxing your neck, shoulders, and back.

Smile, amidst this world brimming with information and opinions, His truth is your compass.

Inhale through your nose, envision deeply inhaling His truth.

Hold for a few seconds, pause, acknowledging His enduring truth, tested by time.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing to Him all falsehoods, half-truths, and lies.

Repeat as needed, taking deeper breaths each time than the last.

EXERCISE 1:

TWO-WAY JOURNALING

Today, let's take a moment to write to the God of Truth. How has His truth impacted and transformed you? Reflect on your experiences and share them with Him. Open your heart to the Holy Spirit's guidance, allowing Him to lead you into a meaningful conversation. As the dialogue unfolds, document it in your journal, capturing the essence of your connection.

EXERCISE 2:

DECLARATION

He is God of Truth. He is the truth, and His truth remains constant. How does this truth shape your approach to life today? Craft a concise and personal declaration that resonates with your present circumstances.

Because You are God of Truth, I declare I can / I will / I am…

Speak your declaration aloud, with deliberate conviction. Reiterate it several times. "Take your thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5). Be diligent in fostering a godly mindset, so that the enemy cannot manipulate you with his deceitful tactics.
