Good Morning!! Truth
is essential to building a good relationship, whether in the workplace
or home. Truth-telling builds lasting trust. As I tell my children, "If
you tell a lie about one thing, it will be tough to believe you about
anything." "Rather than love, money or fame, give me truth." What a
difference it would make in our world if that theme were heard as often
as those catchy and memorable advertising jingles by Coca-Cola or
McDonald's.
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.—Psalm 2:6 (KJV)
There are hundreds of reasons to
support the idea, that telling the truth is best for us and for society,
but the most vital reason is that it honors God. Truth is at the heart
of who He is, and it is how He wants us to interact with
others. Throughout the Proverbs,...a book
that clearly gives us God's thinking about moral and ethical principles,
the standard of truth is held high. We find statements such as these:
"He who walks with integrity walks securely" (10:9). "The truthful lip
shall be established forever" (12:19). "Lying lips are an abomination to
the Lord" (12:22). Truth cannot be refuted. It
never grows old. It never has to be retracted. It never fails. It is the
language of God.
Nothing holds as much power as truth.
Holy Spirit, help us to never be afraid to tell the truth, and honor our God. Let us always fear God, more than the world's reaction to the truth. In Jesus' name, Amen.
" Until we allow the Lord to fill our cups daily,...we will never Live Abundantly."
