Devotion 12/26, Holy Integrity
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. Proverbs 12:19
Most of us know treacherous and deceitful people in this life. Many times it seems that they get away with their lies and treacherous acts towards us and others, but they will not get away with it forever! They are destined for eventual destruction.
So, when we have to encounter people such as this, Lord help us to guard our hearts and instead of hating them, look on them with pity, for they are headed for a life of destruction. And if they have never accepted Christ as Savior, an eternity in hell.
Holy and Righteous Father, please forgive me for lying, exaggerating, and withholding the truth when the truth needs to be told. I want my heart and my lips to be invested in forever — your forever — so please help me as I seek to tell the truth with holy integrity. In the name of Jesus, I ask for your help. Amen.
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you Lord.
