91 Days of Victory – Day 85 (2026/05/23)

 

Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

Today I am a bit late writing my blog, but the morning had its challenges. I was up early in the streets doing my street ministry and I think being out there seeing the need and the hurt that we miss can get to me some days. We live our lives in homes and a lot of the people in South Africa stay in estates that is closed of to the world outside and many of us miss what the world really looks like.

My heart is to give hope and to take Jesus to these guys and to get them to quit the drugs. I always say that nothing we do for Jesus is ever insignificant or not important. The smallest act out of obedience can move a mountain. So, always be aware of your surroundings and listen to the Holy Spirit. There is so much need in this world and sometimes that need is just a person who listens or a heart that shows love.

Love is one of the most powerful tools we have and to show love and kindness in a world where it is taken for granted is a game changer.

This brings me back to my scripture in Psalm 85, “Truth springs up from the earth”. The funny thing is in all that is happening to me currently with all the lies and allegations based on more lies, the one thing I so desire is for the truth to come out. What is truth in essence? According to the dictionary Truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality. It generally refers to statements, beliefs, or thoughts that accurately reflect the way things actually are.

I love that part – “actually are”. I do not know about you, but deceit really upsets me and when someone falsely accuses someone, it gets me worked up. People actually do not fear God and in the Bible, depending on your translation, the phrase “fear God” comes up over a hundred times. I have written about this before but just to remind you when I say “fear God” I do not mean go hide in a cave somewhere and never show your face. It simply refers to the healthy fear of God as pure respect for who He is and what He can do. Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell”.

I guess what I am trying to say is that when we fear God correct, we will strive to obey His Word and live our lives righteously according to His will. People can lie and alter the truth, but God sees everything. In my desire for the truth to come out I feel the Holy Spirit say that in our battles and in our challenges, truth will jump out from the very earth that knows the lies. Truth will be known and righteousness will smile from heaven as God steps in and opens the doors. God will let the truth be known and He will destroy the lies for no weapon that is formed against us will prosper and God goes before us and He will be with us, and He will never leave us. So, do not be discouraged or afraid, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And He will hear from heaven and heal our land.

Have an awesome day, my friend.
