Truthful lips endure forever but a lying tongue is but a moment. Proverbs 12:19
Lord this is one of those times when I have to thank You for a mother that loved You. She instilled within me at a very young age that if you lied no one could ever believe you. She drilled into me how much better it was to always tell the truth because then you never needed to remember your story. You would always know the truth. I also knew I would be punished if she ever found out I lied and I sure didn’t want that as a child because she definitely knew how to punish me.
Lord there are those things like this that Solomon was trying to teach his son. We as parents have great gifts like this to give our children that lasts with them their whole life.
These verses we have been reading from the wisdom of what Solomon was telling his son are gifts to us too and we thank You.
Thank You Lord. Thank You.
Amen
