John 8:31-32 Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Thoughts on today's verse
There are few things more coveted than freedom. People die for it. People pray for it. People strive for it. True freedom comes from knowing truth. Knowing truth only comes by living in obedience to Jesus. Truth is not something you merely think about or believe. Truth is something you do, you live. Jesus' teaching always ends with the exclamation: Blessed are you who do these things! Only by doing will we ever know the truth that liberates us.
Prayer:
To the only true God be glory, honor, power, and praise. Father, I seek not only your presence in my daily life, but also your pleasure in the choices I make. Please teach me more of your truth as I pledge to live today in obedience to your word and your will. Through Jesus the living Word I pray. Amen.

This ties in great with other posting for today...Please pray for this weekend as kids across our area in PA and I'm sure across the country our going on ski trips with churchs' and YoungLife to hear about the truth!!
I echo the prayer above for all of us especially, me.
Was on a flight this week, which was having a wing malfunction in the air. We were greeted by fire trucks. Found myself praying that others on the flight knew the truth. Was not fun, but if nothing else interesting to see how your mind reacts.
