Integrity of truth

What comfort floods the mind by the way of the mystery of the indwelling Spirit when holy truth overcomes our doubt. We the elect, redeemed and adopted, by the blessed revelation of the scripture, find ‘perfect peace” as our minds are stayed on Him, the only authentic source of truth since he has “made all things”. Called to come into his courts with praise, the advice is not unreasonable nor without explanation for the psalmist continues For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. The durability of this truth is the basis for our confidence and then our comfort. The seed then the fruit, the grave then the resurrection, the promise then the inheritance; this is how the great Author of all blesses us. Since He decrees all that comes to pass, He is the only legitimate source of truth so that His revelation is the only authentic and genuine explanation of what is and the only dependable promise of what will be. His documented plan has integrity as a properly constructed building; it holds together and is dependable, reflects His mercy and gives us a hope that is the seed for the rejoicing and testimony of those …that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
