VERSE:
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a
moment.
-- Proverbs 12:19
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+12:19
THOUGHT:
"Tell the truth the first time, then you won't have to remember
what you said." This truism by the famous Speaker of the House, Sam
Rayburn, is good medicine for us today. Telling a lie seems
gratifying at the time, but it nearly always catches up with us and
gives us the added burden of trying to remember what we said and
why. Truth endures; a lie is a momentary illusion that ends up a
trap filled with burdens.
PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous Father, please forgive me for lying,
exaggerating, and withholding the truth when it is needed. I want
my heart and my lips to be invested in forever. In the name of
Jesus. Amen.
