Proverbs 13:5
A righteous man hateth lying:
but a wicked man is
loathsome, and cometh to shame.
If we are longing to live the way the Lord wants us to live
we will have an inner repulsion against the misrepresentation of the
truth. We are not going to just politely
acknowledge something is not true, but we will be people who have positioned
ourselves against deceit and lies. They
are not just a casual obstruction of justice but lies, in and of themselves,
are not welcome in us or around us. The
smallest compromise of the truth will not sit with us. Just as if we ‘hate’
some sort of food and will not eat it, and if we ‘accidentally’ put some in our
mouth we would spit it out abruptly and passionately. So, too, we should handle any sort of lies we
hear or speak in our own lives.
