Are you living what you believe? There's a profound difference between knowing truth and walking in it.

Today's meditation explores 3 John 1:4 and challenges us to move beyond intellectual understanding of God's Word into transformative application. When truth shapes our habits, choices, relationships, and responses, we're not just talking about faith—we're embodying it. This short but powerful episode reminds us that memorizing scripture or quoting doctrine means little if our lives don't align with what we profess to believe.

Walking in truth comes with a warning: it will make you stand out. It won't always win you popularity or comfort, but it offers something far more valuable—a clean soul and clear path forward. In a culture saturated with lies, half-truths, and watered-down versions of the gospel, your consistent life can become a lighthouse, guiding others back to authentic faith.

The prayer at the heart of this episode asks God to expose areas of compromise and grant courage to live truthfully even when it's uncomfortable. It's a request that strikes at the core of spiritual integrity—the desire to live in a way that brings joy to God rather than merely impressing others.

Ready for spiritual refreshment that challenges and inspires? Listen now and discover how to walk in truth today.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:26.786
Today is Day 136, Walk in Truth.

00:00:27.768 --> 00:00:38.271
From 3 John 1, verse 4, from the New Living Translation, there is a difference between knowing truth and walking in it.

00:00:38.271 --> 00:00:48.231
You can memorize verses, you can quote doctrine and sing worship songs, but if your life doesn't line up with truth, it's just noise.

00:00:48.231 --> 00:01:03.067
3 John 1, verse 4 says Truth isn't something that you just believe, it's something that you follow.

00:01:03.067 --> 00:01:08.823
You let it shape your habits, your choices, your relationships, your responses.

00:01:08.823 --> 00:01:18.289
It changes your attitude, your speech, your priorities and when it happens, you're not just talking truth, you're walking it.

00:01:18.289 --> 00:01:20.593
And here's the reality.

00:01:20.593 --> 00:01:23.463
Walking in truth will make you stand out.

00:01:23.463 --> 00:01:32.448
It won't always win you friends, it may cost you some comfort, but it keeps your soul clean and your path clear.

00:01:34.012 --> 00:01:43.984
In a world full of lies, half-truths and watered-down gospels, your life should be a lighthouse, steady and grounded and pointing people back to what's real.

00:01:43.984 --> 00:01:47.643
So if God's word says it, live like it.

00:01:47.643 --> 00:01:49.846
If Jesus modeled it.

00:01:49.846 --> 00:01:50.867
Follow it.

00:01:50.867 --> 00:01:54.855
If the spirit convicts you, obey it.

00:01:54.855 --> 00:02:02.653
Let's pray, Lord, let my life reflect your truth, not just in words but in action.

00:02:02.653 --> 00:02:05.971
Expose any area where I'm compromising.

00:02:05.971 --> 00:02:09.745
Give me courage to walk in truth, even when it's uncomfortable.

00:02:09.745 --> 00:02:12.693
I want to live a life that brings you joy.

00:02:12.693 --> 00:02:19.954
In Jesus' name, amen, Don't forget Weekends with Lauren start tomorrow.

00:02:19.954 --> 00:02:27.252
