Today I felt
very imbarassed, a friend dropped in and the documents of another friend fell
off her desk. The lady asked do you know what happened to my documents? It’s a
total mess. I lied there and then, “no I don’t know.” She turned around and said
“you lie, sis.”
Proverbs 8: 7-8 NIV
“My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the
words of my are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.”
I am sure you
want to know why I didn’t tell her the truth. Well, I didn’t want to cause any
animosity between the two ladies and I pretended that I wasn’t aware of the
problem. Was that the right thing to do? Absolutely not, I should have stated
the papers fell off your desk she picked it up and placed it back onto your desk.
It was an accident. So why didn’t I just say that? I was afraid they may have
an arugment.
I actually feel
very bad because I tried to hid the truth and yet the truth came out.
Revelations 22 verse 15 “[But] without are the dogs and those who practice
sorceries (magic arts) and impurity [the lewd, adulterers] and the murderers
and idolaters and everyone who loves and deals in falshood (untruth, error, deception, cheating).”
When I think of
this scripture I truly feel very bad, God expects all of us to act responsibly
and treat people with love and respect. Please Holy Spirit help me to keep to
Your Words, Solomon reminds us that “my mouth speaks what is true,” I want to
always honor You.
Prayer
Abba Father
humbly I prayer please Lord deliver me from lying lips, and please help me to
speak the truth no matter what. I do not want to deceive people. I dedicate my
life into Your hands, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
