"Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
Galatians 4:16
Paul, here, is trying to get the Galatians to come back to the gospel after going astray. In the chapter he asks why they went back to their old habits, and reminds them of when he visited them. He asks them if they have suddenly become enemies because he is (still) speaking the truth.
I think God sometimes has a similar question for us. We too often kind of slip away from the gospel... maybe thinking that is okay because it isn't too far, but when the time comes, there we are, still trapped. God invites us to return, and remember.
Today, let's not be an enemy of the truth. Let's remember our faith and our commitment, and not let anything at all stand in the way of our dedication to God and his gospel. So many things compete for our attention... let's make sure God and Truth (which are synonymous; never at odds) always come first.
