Real Reality
I am not a fan of reality shows! Aside from the often nauseating themes, ridiculous drama, and an unreasonable attempt to entertain with another person's misfortune, they are just too ... real. Reality is what usually stresses me out: laundry, misplaced keys, deadlines. Tell me what’s entertaining about that!
God's Truth is reality yet so often treated as an illusion by many, even those who call themselves by His Name. We live as if His commands are "suggestions" on how to live and behave. All of God's commands are truth (Psalm 119:151), and furthermore it’s His truth that preserves us (Psalm 40:11). Unlike the popular reality shows, the results of disregarding His commands are not make-believe or a game. There is judicious loss of victorious and joyful living apart from Christ. Our obedience to His Truth, however, is pleasing to The Father: "I have no greater joy than to hear that My children walk in truth." (3 John 1:4) Now, that's a reasonable reality!
