In the End, the Truth Wins

Scripture
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet saying
(Jeremiah 37:6)
Devotional
The truth may not always make you popular, but as Jesus said, it will always make you free. Because Jeremiah consistently told the truth to king Zedekiah, he ended up in prison. Listen, you can imprison a man’s body, but you cannot imprison his spirit. Jeremiah was released from prison, but the king lost his kingdom and was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar. His sons were murdered before him. They put out his eyes, bound him in bronze fetters and placed him in prison till the day of his death. The truth may not seem appropriate at the present, but the end result of it will always prevail. You do not have to tell everything you know, but what you do decide to tell must be the truth. Anything less than the truth is a lie; and as the apostle John wrote, “No lie is of the truth.” Remember the words of Jesus when He described Himself. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life ”
