The truth and nothing but the truth
“The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” Proverbs 12:22
Recently, the former NKF chief has been jailed for three months for cheating the charity. According to the judge, he had abused the trust that the NKF board and members of public had placed in him. What has happened to him can also happen to any one of us. People can lie, cheat and shade facts, especially when it works to their advantage. However, the author of Proverbs reminds us that lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. Truthfulness rather than falsehood pleases the Lord. It reflects the character of God as He is truth Himself. God will weigh and judge whatever we say one day. When we speak and act in truth, it also brings harmony and trust in our human relationships. Let us be careful at all times to speak the truth and nothing but the truth.
