I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.<\/p>\n
—Psalm 119:30<\/p>\n
Jesus challenged us with this strong call: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23).”The way of truth,” the way of Jesus, is a daily choice. Not intentionally putting Jesus at the center of our lives and not seeking to please him as our top priority means we slip a little further away from the life he is calling us to live. Any decision made without consciously seeking to please him and obeying his commands (Matthew 28:20) is choosing to place Jesus at the periphery of our lives. So let’s set our hearts on him. Let’s choose his way and his truth so we can live his life (John 14:6) in our world. Yes, we have chosen the way of truth, and we have set our hope on Jesus, who is the fulfillment of God’s laws (Matthew 5:17-28).<\/p>\n
Heavenly Father, I choose to follow Jesus and live obediently to his truth. Please open my eyes to see your will for me in Jesus, and please open my heart to live it with consistency and passion. I commit again today to follow you with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
