CHESHVAN 24

Truth

  

“See, You have desired TRUTH in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You make me know wisdom.” (Ps 51:6, emphasis mine)

 

Emet (Strong’s H571) is the Hebrew word translated as ‘truth’.  In the Hebrew language, the word emet is spelled with three letters, the first (א aleph), middle (מ mem) and last (ת tav) letters of the Hebrew alphabet.  Ancient Jewish wisdom interpreted this to mean that ‘truth’ bonds everything Elohim created together, from the first to the last, including all that is in the middle.  Truth denotes dependability, reliability, trustworthiness, firmness, and something, or someone, that you can stake your life on.  And that is exactly what we do, when we take our Messiah Yeshua at His word:

 

“Yeshua said, "I AM the Way — AND the truth AND the life; no one comes to the Father except through me.”  (Joh 14:6 CJB, emphasis mine)

 

However, truth is also an intense light (see Joh 8:12) and will bring under inspection certain areas of our lives that might not be lining up quite like they should be.  Abba Father is in the business of ‘character building’, and prefers to use His word, His Torah, as the means to accomplish this goal.  May we all be sensitive to the voice of the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Elohim (John 14:17), as we are taught and instructed from the words of life ... For it is by the washing of the water of the Word that we are sanctified and cleansed (Eph 5:26).

  

“Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.”  (Ps 119:142)

 

“Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth.”  (Joh 17:17)
