Activate Truth #5 (Reprise)

We have been considering the activation of truth in our lives. It really does not matter what you believe if it is not translated into a living reality. It also will not help you, if you can believe for someone else, but not for yourself. There are some who can pray and believe God for others, but they are unable to activate faith for themselves. An activated truth brings visible, tangible results. We should see fruit. We should see results in this life. We should see the goodness of God manifested today! Scripture tells us that, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life!”  Once you have recognized, received, cooperated, and wrestled with truth, the last step is you must learn to rest in the truth. The visible proof that you are believing in something is the act of resting. This is an outward proof of an internal confidence. You must learn to labor into rest. You may not always see the results immediately of a promise for which you are believing. Rest in The Lord. Rest in His Word to you. As you do this, you will experience more of the goodness of God and the fulfillment of His truth in your life.
