What is so frightening about an iceberg?  It is the part that is unknown, that which is unseen that presents a threat or terror.  It is the same thing with truth, all must be revealed, for it is the omission which damages trust and faith.  Deception has no part in truth.  If the truth is contorted, rewritten, warped, thrashed, overlooked or redacted it removes that which makes it priceless and pure.  God’s Word tells the truth, wholly, plainly, perfectly, not mincing words or leaving out what makes people uncomfortable in its conviction.  That is why we have become jaded in this country as of late, because we fear that the behemoth below the surface is far more dangerous then the idyllic, pristine structure visible on the horizon.  It is not the lies that disturb us so much as what the lie portends.  First that there is no cause for trust and second that if they concealed it from us at the outset then the real story must be far worse then they’ve let on.

Holy Father, thank You for being honest with me from the start.  There is no elaborate hoax being perpetrated over humanity in order to gather or keep You in power.  For all the power and Glory of this Universe is Yours from the beginning.  Unlike ours or any worldly government/king we did not cede You the authority it is simply, “Yours”.  This world has become a muddied copy of what used to be transparent and pure.  We have lost faith, not in Your Glory but in this world’s capacity to fulfill our purpose.  This obstacle course, riddled with folly, falsehood and fallacy challenges us to remain focused upon the one constant, You Lord.  You are unmoving, unchanging, consistent and untainted by the sin run rampant throughout creation.  If there is a place that is free from this sepsis, let us be led to its gate.  And as Your Word states let us see the cleansing of this world from the ravages of illness, wickedness and sin.  I know You are God by Your enormous patience.  You are waiting for all that will eventually turn back to You in repentance and truth to take that step.  For that I Praise You, for loving us even though we are unlovable and lost.

Lord I pray for that day when all the world knows the Truth of Your Glory.  The day when the shroud is finally removed and even the mockers bow out of awe.  Keep everything I do above the surface so that no one fear what lurks in my shadow, up my sleeve or below the table.  Let me serve Your Children in honesty and in truth all the days of this life and the next.  In Jesus’ Name I pray.  Amen.
