The Truth About A Lie

"They that deal truly are his delight" Proverbs 12:22b

The words that we say will bring damage or they will bring good. We live in a time that runs off the fuel of convenience.  Too many say what others want to hear or if they find themselves in a pinch they will lie their way out of something, and if needed they will lie their way into something.  The convenience of a lie will lead one down a road of destruction.  In the end one's mind never seems to be able to keep up with their mouth.

  The Bible says, "The lip of truth shall be established for ever more: but a lying tongue is but for a moment" (Proverbs 12:19.)  God lays before us the two extremes of those who choose to run with sin or walk in righteousness. The one who is truthful will be established; picture solid footing in the presence of longevity.  The one who wields a lying tongue is for a moment.  Sooner than later a liar will be exposed, and then their time is up, and they move on to someone else.  The truth is the liar has an impossible time establishing relationships because their words are fruitless, and rootless, and they can't keep up with them.
 
Truth has weight that will stand the test of time, and will endure the storms of lies.  Be wise, and apply the truth, and you will be established.
