Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth.
Ephesians 6:14

Recommended Reading: Psalm 119:160

In recent years, a new phrase has entered the cultural conversation: “My truth” or “your truth” have, for many people, replaced “the truth.” Social media has made it possible for every person to speak his or her truth to the world. This trend is fallout from the rise of the postmodern worldview that says there is no truth. Instead, truth is in the eye of the beholder; truth is whatever you say it is.

Truth is like the rudder on a giant ship—the thing that keeps the ship on track regardless of how high the waves or how strong the winds. A life that is not based on “true truth” (a phrase from Christian philosopher Francis Schaeffer) will be tossed about by life’s circumstances like a ship without a rudder. Jesus prayed that God would sanctify believers with His truth, concluding, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). There is no “my truth” or “your truth”; there is only God’s truth which is found in His Word.

There is no better way to “gird up the loins of your mind” (1 Peter 1:13) than by meditating on the truth of Scripture.

The Word of God is perfect; it is precious and pure; it is truth itself.
Martin Luther
