Evening: Psalm 145; Matthew 14:1-12
Truth is scary. Herod hid from it. Speaking the truth about Herod cost John his life. When you hide from, or hide the truth, it hurts you and those around you. Clearly, telling truth is painful. Still, Jesus says the truth makes you free. We hide from things we are ashamed of, and shame is a dark prison. It is freeing to admit - even to ourselves - the things of which we are ashamed. Prison is costly and offers no reward. Freedom is costly, but is its own reward, especially when you pay to gain freedom for someone else.
