What if we lived what we say we believe?
“Not always easy, but always right.”
That’s what one Facebook reader wrote in response to my question.
Michelle Medlock Adams, an author, speaker and generous friend, writes the excellent Guideposts column “Deadlines, Grocery Lines, Laugh Lines.” She graciously featured my blog post in her column — and on my birthday no less.
I’ve been thrilled by the response. The number of people on Guideposts’ Facebook page who’ve shown that their hearts are set on living out authentic faith has been amazing.
It’s encouraging to see the passion of so many who want to present to the world an accurate reflection of Christ in all they say and do.

Christian Devotions is exactly that. You’ll find daily devotions to encourage a growing relationship with Christ.
Sadly, they lost everything on their website at one point. They’ve been rebuilding it back.
My two devotions were lost from their website and not restored. Therefore, I’m including the one I still have below.
Alas, for some reason I don’t have a copy of the other one.
Please check out Christian Devotions’ website for their many great devotionals written by a host of wonderful writers.
YOUR WORD SUSTAINS ME – JEAN WILUND
Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
~ Jeremiah 15:16 NLT_________________________________________________________I woke sapped of emotional strength to face the day. Armed with a mug of coffee, I sought strength in God’s Word. Turning to where I’d left off the day before in Jeremiah, I found—not hope—but God’s wrath and Israel’s imminent destruction instead. Great.
The Israelites refused to listen to God. Instead they continually turned from following Him and forced His hand. It seemed they were dead set on having their own way.
Oh, wait. I was doing the same thing.
I wasn’t demanding my own way outwardly. I prayed to want only what God wanted and to trust Him in my situation, yet I still felt despair. Like Israel, any outcome in my situation other than the one my heart desired, would leave me disappointed. I, too, was dead set on having my own way.
Then I read this passage and found what I’d been missing: Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.
I found the truth. Jeremiah reminded me that only God’s Word is truth—not what I think about a situation, but what God says. If I reject His truth, I’ll despair. If I embrace it, it becomes for me a joy and the delight of my heart. Right perspective gives strength.
Joseph received God’s words that his family would one day bow before him. Even after being sold into slavery by his brothers and thrown into prison, his situation was never bleak. It was always bright, because the truth was, God had sent Joseph right where he needed to be so He could raise him up to rule Egypt and save his family.
Knowing the truth changes your perspective. God’s Word is the truth and the right perspective.
People will still die and bad things will happen, but God will always bring joy and delight to your heart, even in the midst of it, through the promises, perspective, and truth of His Word.
