The thoughts and actions that lead to suffering stem from selfish desires and self-centeredness. In contrast, those that bring blessedness and joy come from seeking God’s truth. To transform our minds and hearts, we need to engage in two vital practices: meditation and application.
Through quiet reflection and prayer, we seek to understand God’s will and guidance. Then, by putting His teachings into practice in our daily lives, we demonstrate our love and commitment to Him. Truth is not just about intellectual knowledge or theological debates; it’s about living out our faith in obedience to God’s Word. We can only truly know and experience God’s Truth by living it out in our lives. As Jesus said, “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them” (John 13:17).
