[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 26]] ## Title: Live According to Truth ## Scripture: (Psalm 26:2-3) “Examine me, O Lord, and test me. Evaluate my inner thoughts and motives. For I am ever aware of your faithfulness, and your loyalty continually motivates me.” (NET) ## Observation: It is important that we live according to truth and not according to our emotions. If we lived according to our emotions, life would be a literal roller coaster. Emotions are fun. They bring spice to life. They remind us that the moments we walk through in life are good, bad, fun, sad, and everything in between. However, we cannot think of emotions as the compass for our lives. Someone can be saying something true, but if they say it in a harsh way we can assume it is wrong. On the other hand, if someone says something nice, we can assume it is true. We must live according to the truths of God’s Word so we can have an accurate compass in life. Times, seasons, cultures, and people change, but God’s Word stays steady. ## Application: Commit to reading God’s Word every day as the Source of Truth in your life. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us in the right direction.
