[SIZE=14pt]Dear Father in Heaven,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Thank You for allowing me to share Your wise words with our brothers and sisters, and for advising us how to live according to Your perfect ways.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Exodus 20:16)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]This principle includes all forms of lying – falsehoods, deceptions and untruths such as perjury, among others. For our God is the God of Truth! So we too are to hate lying and love truth, just as You remind us Lord in Your Sacred Scriptures.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.”[/SIZE][SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Deuteronomy 32:4)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“His truth endures to all generations.”[/SIZE][SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Psalm 100:5)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](John 14:6)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“Your word is truth.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](John 17:17)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](John 18:37)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](John 17:17)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Dear Father, thank you for impressing upon us the paramount importance of living truthfully, without lying and deceiving. We acknowledge that You are so concerned about the concept of truth – the opposite of lying – that the word itself – “truth” – occurs 235 times in 222 verses in the original King James Bible! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Seeking out all that is true within God’s Holy Scriptures bolsters our faith to give us even more confidence, endurance and strength as we prepare ourselves to become members of Our Heavenly Father’s Eternal Family. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]I pray that we all continually look to our Bible where there are no lies or falsehoods; where all biblical records of history, doctrines and prophecies are indeed true beyond any doubt. Of wise proverbs, this is one of many I so dearly cherish and practice . . . [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](2 Timothy 2:15)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Dear Lord, thank you for Your righteous guidance so that we may not pervert justice as lying and dishonesty corrupt hearts and are abominations to You God.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Exodus 23:1)[/SIZE]
As Jesus said, “with God all things are possible.”
[SIZE=14pt](Matthew 19:26)[/SIZE]
But is there anything impossible for God? Yes, there is! [SIZE=14pt]IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE![/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“In hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Titus 1:2)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]“Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt](Hebrews 6:17-18)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Dear Lord, please continue to impress upon all sisters and brothers, and others, how to live a truthful and righteous lifestyle to represent Your Holy character as we await Your Kingdom Come![/SIZE]
In Jesus’ name, I pray, forever and ever,
Amen!
