WHO KEEP
TRUTH IMPRISONED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The anger of God is being revealed
from heaven against all the impiety and depravity of men who keep truth
imprisoned in their wickedness.” (Romans 1:16-25)
Reflection. Paul starts his letter by saying the
world itself reveals the truth about God even before the revelation of God made
human in Jesus. People are good at digging for precious metals but few dig deep
to discover the imprint of God in creation. Most find it easier to “imprison”
the truth as people who speak up in dictatorships are put behind bars. There is
a truth lying behind every human conflict on the planet today but people prefer
to fight rather than to face it. And we know in our own case how there can be
obvious things we have to do, but we put them off. We don’t do them. So, before
he gets into his main theme, Paul gives us a “state of the nation” address.
This is how things are.
Prayer. Lord Jesus, help us to face the
truth as it touches our lives. Amen.
