Truth is something that you discover that comes from heaven and not earth.  Truth is “a God practice.” It’s a principle that God would practice if He lived on the earth. Guess what—He does…in you. Ultimately truth is “some aspect of God” that you’re supposed to practice until it becomes “some aspect of you.”

Do you know what season you’re in? If not, ask yourself, “What truth is courting me these days?” The truth that speaks to you the most is the one that defines what season you’re in. What truth has been talking to you the most lately? The truth that speaks to you the most; the loudest; the most often; the clearest; is the one that clarifies and communicates what season you’re in. You should always know what season you’re in.

The season for silence is not the season for talking.

• Sometimes God wants you to be silent because what you’re carrying is in the incubation stage.
• If you speak about it too soon you might scramble the egg before it even gets fertilized, grows 9 months, and births something that will last forever.
• It is much more powerful to “do something” and then talk about it than it is to “talk about it” and then only hope to do it. Let your “DO-ing” do your “TALKing.”

The season for getting serious is not the season for playing.

• There are times when life is asking you to sober up and get focused.
• There’s a time when tee-hee, ha-ha, rah-rah, yahoo, and a bunch of foolishness ain’t gon’ cut it.
• There comes a time where you need to tie up loose ends, handle your business and get things in order.
• Are you in a season of getting serious about some things?

Truth’s Cost

Sometimes we look at truth and ask, “How much is it going to cost?” In other words, “How much of me is this going to require?” There are some truths that people don’t practice simply because they cost too much. They require more of them than they’re willing to pay. That’s why many people don’t do things correctly—it costs too much. We like to ask: ‘’How long is it going to take?” “Am I going have to go study?” “How many hours?” “Will I have to get up early?” “Can I still be with my friends?” “Will it hurt?”

When you find truth that you can’t live without, it is worth going after it with all you have. One of Jesus’ disciples understood it—He said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46).

As long as I can find some part of my life that doesn’t match the promises that God has made I’m going to “sell” my time, my comfort, my convenience, my rest, my sleep and my money. I’m gonna’ sell it; I’m gonna’ exchange it—for the truth that will bring me everything that’s missing (in my life).

The truth that speaks to you the “loudest” is the one that is trying to transform you the “greatest.”
