El Emeth, The God Of Truth

Day 1.

El Emeth, The God of truth.

I learned that it doesn't matter what people say to defame your character to get people to dislike you. All that matters is the truth. I'm relying on God now more than ever to handle all my battles for me, including controlling people's tongues against me and helping me to control my tongue against others. I understand that I have no power over people and no control over what they allow to come out of their mouths. They say what they think and they think what they feel. They're human just like I am human. It's my responsibility as a Christian to do my best to guard my tongue and correct my thoughts. I have to do whatever it takes to keep my thoughts in check. Every person does not have the same convictions as me; We all don't have the same restraints.

I know that I trust Gods word. I know that what His word says is true, is true. I know that those things He says will come to pass, will in fact come to pass. So I remain faithful to his word and allow Him to go to war for me.

Have you ever went heads up with a person- argued- tried to convince them that what they were thinking about you and saying about you weren't true? I have! Arguing is one of the most mentally draining and physically exhausting acts a person can participate in. I stopped arguing years ago. The headaches, the stress, and the throat aches weren't worth it to me. I've learned over the years to allow people to be who they want to be. I can't force someone to think highly of me when that's not a matter of their heart.

Have you ever known someone who dislikes a person and has chosen you to be the person that can no longer like them based off of their offense?

I wrote an entire "report" on how to handle an offense when I first started blogging, I'll insert the link below. However, I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't be the person to take on other peoples offenses. Why? Because when doing so you can miss the opportunity to be a blessing in that persons life, you could miss your own blessing, you could block yourself from a potential networking opportunity, and ultimately you could prevent yourself from being a witness to someone who God may have sent your way on purpose. I tell people it's okay if you don't like a person, but I don't have to dislike them because you do. I judge people based on how they treat me. If a person is cordial and respectful to me, then I will reciprocate that behavior towards them.

Gossip is a bad habit that I find I'm easy to get sucked into. This is one of the main reasons I refuse to talk to people on the phone. When I know I'm trying to protect my thoughts and what comes out of my mouth I have to guard what I allow to be fed into my spirit. I text people so I can catch myself when the enemy is in my ear saying, " now you know you know some stuff about such and such, go ahead and say it." It's harder to filter my thoughts when I'm holding a conversation, than when I'm texting and writing out my thoughts. Now I'm not perfect, I've gossiped and said some things about people I shouldn't have said to my closest friends. I knew once I realized what I was doing was wrong and ended up changing the subject. I've repented so many times for putting my tongue on things and people in a negative way. I know that's not why I'm here on this earth. I'm not here to talk bad about people. My purpose is not to bring people down, but to build people up.

This mornings reading in a nutshell makes me appreciate God even more. It doesn't matter what the enemy has said about you, it doesn't matter what your haters have said about you. It doesn't matter what you've said about others when your flesh was weak and the enemy was using you. All that matters is God will always allow the truth to surface and the truth will set you free from the hand of the enemy. There is nothing anyone can say about you that God won't allow the truth to come in and trump! Knowing that no lie that's said against me will prosper is refreshing. Yes, it may spread or even spark a rumor. At the end of the day, Gods truth about me and who I am will always prevail! I encourage you to pray in every circumstance. Pray that God handles your enemies and His glory over your life will reign! God, thank you for being Jehovah El Emeth!

“Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:5‬ ‭KJV‬

...

“I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:12-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬
