Proverbs - Listening to Lies


Proverbs 17:4
                                                                     
A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;
and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.


When we are doing something that the Lord doesn’t want us to do and consistently doing it, we are giving heed to false lips.  There is some sort of lie that we believe every time we choose to obey that temptation or go beyond the boundaries we know the Lord has for us.  It would be a good thing to ask the Lord to reveal what sort of lies we believe in our hearts that are empowering us to go in the way of wickedness.  The next time we find ourselves in a place where compromise might be approaching, let us listen to what sort of lies are being spoken to us.  Then, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we should speak the truth and obey that.  The devil is the father of all lies and it is with a lie he brought down Eve.  We, as women, should learn from her and remember that if lies worked in the past, lies can work in the future.  We should rather hear the truth and obey it!
