Let's look at the answer to this question from God’s Word. The Psalmist says is verse one of chapter fifty-seven, "For Your lovingkindness is great to the heavens And Your truth to the clouds." Truth, in God's economy, is beyond our comprehension in magnitude, to be sure.
Our response? It should be as the Psalmist's, which is two-fold. First, "Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name” (86:11). Second, "Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth” (115:1). We should plead with God to teach us His way, so that we would walk in truth. Knowing God's way results in us seeing the path of truth lighted, namely by His word. Why should this be our desire, our passion? So that His glory will be more clearly and brightly displayed through our lives.
What is God's response? "The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth” (Ps. 145:18). As we pray and receive and meditate and walk in the truth, our Sovereign Lord reveals Himself walking close beside us. This does not mean the way is always easy, but that the way is right, because it is in the truth.
Lord Jesus, may we know your way of truth, and give us the strength to walk in it. We pray that unto you, not us, be glory forevermore. Amen.
