John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth.”

Jesus’ prayer in John 17 focuses primarily on God being glorified and that His children would be preserved in the midst of a world that does not understand or care.

 “Sanctify” means to be set apart. 

In the context of the prayer Christ is asking that all believers, of all ages to come, be set aside for the glory and purpose of God.

Our verse for today highlights the power and importance of God’s word.

The Word needs to dominate every thought, every choice and every task we endeavor.

Today let us examine our daily, moment by moment, relationship to God’s word.

Are we allowing the truths to penetrate our hearts, alter our minds and direct our paths?
