Psalm 119:30 says, “I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.” As I was meditating on this verse, I thought back to when I watched my friend lay bricks. He had to first level the ground. Then he put down sand to keep the bricks from shifting when I walked on it.

We make the choice to walk in the way of truth. However, we have to level the ground by removing the debris of hidden lies, doubts, fears, and unbelief. They are squatters, but the truth is absolute. Remember that Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life…” John 14:6. 

Jesus reveals the hidden truths of His word as we bring them into our hearts. Each brick of truth is carefully laid so that we have a firm foundation to walk on. Our progressive sanctification is step by step. As Isaiah 28:10 says, “For precept must be upon precept…line upon line, here a little, there a little.”
