He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. – Romans 12:1b
The world around us constantly bombards us with counsel. People (including friends and relatives), television, magazines, web ads, emails, billboards and even our own voices in our heads, are constantly slamming us with a barrage of information about who we are. With so many different ideas and voices, it can be difficult to discern the truth.
The only place where we can find truth about who we are is from God. Since He created us, He alone knows who we are and who He means for us to be. We need to take the time to find a quiet place to read His word daily and then pray. He speaks to us through these things.
Only then can we drown out the lies the world tells us about ourselves and who we tell ourselves we are. Only in listening will we align our understanding of who we are with His truth. Listening to the truth will give us the fuel we need to recognize the lies and to live out our lives in truth for His glory.
Real Men listen to the truth.
