DELIVERANCE

As long as in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, in that I rejoice. Indeed I shall continue to rejoice.

I know that this will result in deliverance for me through your prayers and support from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. -- Philippians 1:18-19

Know the Truth . . .

Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us, just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you that you may know the truth concerning the things of which you have been informed. -- Luke 1:1-4

Lord, the way of truth I have chosen; I have set your ordinances before me. Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous deeds. Give me discernment, that I may observe your law and keep it with all my heart. Lead me in the path of your commands, for in it I delight. And I will keep your law continually, forever and ever. -- Psalm 119

So shall he startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which has not been told them they shall see, and that which they have not heard they shall understand (Is 52:15).

Oh send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me, let them bring me to thy holy hill and to thy dwelling! (Ps 43: 3)

O Truth, you are present to those who seek your help, and at one and the same time you answer all, though they seek your counsel on different matters. You respond clearly. but not everyone hears clearly. All ask what they wish, but do not always hear the answer they wish. Your best servant is he who is intent not so much on hearing his petition answered, as rather on willing whatever he hears from you. (St. Augustine)
