SCRIPTURE: John 14:1-7
Jesus answered, “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (Vs. 6).
OBSERVATION:
To the doubting Thomas, Jesus details how to live in relationship with God.
APPLICATION:
We may doubt and wonder how to live even today. Jesus reminds us that the way of life is demonstrated by his constant love for God and neighbor. The Truth of Jesus is the salvation is promised for all who confess and profess. We often think of life in this passage as referring to eternal life but eternal life starts right now.
PRAYER:
Lord forgive me when I have forgotten that you are the way, the truth, and the life. Lead me back into your fold.
YIELDING:
Attempts to live my life strictly on my terms.

Scripture: Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord we don't know where you are going so how can we know the way? Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Observation: It's not easy trusting, by faith in God. It takes a daily committment. Jesus is always with us and there are no shortcuts to God without following and trusting in Jesus.
Application: The walk with Jesus has to be a daily commitment to communicate and study the inspired word through scriptures.
Prayer: Lord help me keep my focus on you. There are no shortcuts to Heaven. Keep my heart from becoming distracted or frustrated in becoming closer to you every day.
Yield: Distractions and temptations that keep me away from the truth and the life.
