Proclamation:
“An
honest witness tells the truth, but a false witness tells lies.” Proverbs 12:17 (NIV)
“Truthful
lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.” Proverbs 12:19 (NIV)
“The
Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Proverbs 12:22 (NIV)
Explanation:
These words were written
under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by King Solomon, the son of King
David. Solomon was the wisest man to
ever live. (2 Chronicles 1:11-12) His
proverbs were written to teach and guide the people of God so that they would
know and practically apply The Word of God.
Application:
When we speak, we should
tell the truth. We should not lie. The Lord God detests liars. The Bible tells us that all liars will spend
eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8) unless they are
believers who have been forgiven and have their names written in the book of life.
(Revelation 20:15) Let us pray to The
Lord God for forgiveness for our past lies and ask for His help to speak the
truth. Let us practice good Christian
conversation. It is better not to say
anything than to lie. Some of the things
that we say are better left unsaid. We
should only speak that which is truthful and helpful.
