Abe Lincoln once said, “If you call a dogs tail, a leg, how many legs does a dog have?” The people called back, “Five!”. Lincoln said, “No. Four. You can call a tail a leg all you want but it is still a tail.”
Today it seems, more than ever, we’re still doing that. Calling [whatever] what it ain’t.
But that does not make it so. That doesn’t make it true.
It still is
what it is.
That’s the world we’re living in.
Truth is said to be what it ain’t,
but still, the truth is
what it is.
We are living in a convoluted and noisy world, a world
which tries to complicate and drown out the truth.
Consider this:
Truth in this noisy world
is quiet.
Truth speak quietly, with a still small voice,
but when Truth speaks,
it speaks with a Power
that cuts through all the noise.
We live in confusing and complicated times,
but, the truth is simple; not complicated,
Because it’s simply true.
Simple truth rolls away confusion’s clouds
which hide and separate us from the Son
the only one,
the powerful One
who is,
and who gives us, Truth.
