If you know the Truth, do not, under any circumstances, change you mind. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (Jhn 8:32) You won’t have to guess, you will know the truth. The Word of God is true because God cannot lie. If He has said it, then He has spoken truth.
What happens when you run up against people who don’t know the truth? They may respond to you subtly or violently. It doesn’t matter. Stand firm on what you know to be true.
When Joshua and Caleb came back from scouting the promised land, they were the only ones to say go for it. They’re positive report so enraged the people that they were nearly stoned to death. (Num 14:10) But Joshua and Caleb were right, and were the only two of that entire generation to actually enter the promised land and live long years there.
Your commitment to God may not be easy. He never promised that. He did promise to be with you through everything He calls you to. That is truth. Don’t look at circumstances and don’t listen to people who don’t know what they’re talking about. Listen to God and He will bless your path, because He said He would.
