Proverbs 21:28
A
false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
Lies
are an abomination to the Lord and when we give details slanted out of laziness
or even with an agenda behind it, we will perish. Our credibility and our ability to be used by
the Lord in a situation will perish. If
we are good listeners, both to the facts and to the Holy Spirit, our words will
be constant and consistent. We won’t be
changing our facts or retelling the story differently to the next person. We won’t have to keep track of which story we
told to which person. Truth is a belt
for us and love rejoices in the truth.
If we are to walk in love we must walk in truth. Lord, give us the fear of You and the
humility to be quiet when we don’t have details where we would like them. Keep us from ‘filling in the blanks’ and help us be slower to speak. Let our words be aligned with truth and help
us to hear and speak constantly.
