Talked about the difference between facts and truth. Facts are facts, but don’t always point us to the truth.
Example: we all got a beat down today… fact, but the truth is not that we are beat down, the truth is that we will all be stronger because of today.
The Apostle Paul was very passionate about sharing his faith, to the point that he was persecuted, beaten, and even put in jail. Those are all facts, but he shares in II Corinthians the difference between facts and truth.
II Corinthians 4:8-10:
We are pressed on every side (fact), but we are not crushed (truth). We are perplexed (fact), but we are not driven to despair (truth). We are hunted down (fact), but never abandoned by God (truth). We get knocked down (fact), but we are NOT destroyed (truth).
No matter what the facts looked like for us in 2019 or heading into 2020, the truth is that we can all have a successful and prosperous 2020. The key is all three F’s.
1st F – Show up, work hard, and never quit, whether that be working out, our jobs / professions, or any other difficult set of facts or circumstances we face.
2nd F – Build stronger relationships with spouses, family, fellow HIM’s, etc.
3rd F – Grow in your faith or begin your faith journey.
