'Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight' (Proverbs 12:22).
Lying is a second nature to mankind. Eve was deceived by the lies of Satan, which led her to mistrust God. When a person practice lying it becomes a part of their daily life and diminishes trust between those they have done wrong. The Bible states that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. The Lord our God detests lying lips but he delights in those who are trustworthy. In Exodus 20:16 it states, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against our neighbour." When we lie we are rejecting the Lord's commandment. However, when we act with integrity and honesty, being faithful to God we bring delight to him. Let us refrain from lying so that our words ring truth and is trustworthy. Have you make a promise that you didn't keep? How did you feel about it? Have you thought about the other party and how they might have felt? Have you tried to discredit someone by lying about them? How did that make you feel; guilty or not affected at all? The nature of sin is to go against the principles and character of God. When we lie it is distasteful to God. We need to honour God and do His will, he will be please and delight in us. We must understand that we not only should speak the truth, but also be doers of the truth. We should faithfully performed what we have promised to do, instead of lying about our intentions. God is faithful and hates those who are deceitful, but for those who are honest in their words and action, he loves and delight in. Let us learn to speak honestly to God and come to him with a true heart and be truthful without deceit when we interact with others. Lying is not a small thing to make light of, it is serious because God said it is an abomination to him. Lying lips are deceitful and dishonest, let us refrain from doing such actions as we seek to spend eternity with Jesus.
Have a wonderful day
Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
