Wicked Lies
5
The godly hate lies;
the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
6
Godliness guards the path of the blameless,
but the evil are misled by sin.
Verse 5
A good man hates lies, but an evil man loves to tell lies. This is why the evil man causes shame.
Verse 6
We cannot make ourselves perfect. We must ask God to forgive us. He loves us. He even sent Jesus to suffer our punishment. Only God can make us perfect. Only God can forgive us for our evil deeds.
Today's first proverb tells us that a good person hates lies, while a bad person loves them. But wait, there's a twist! Wickedness actually brings shame and disgrace.
Verse 5 highlights a big problem in the United States today. Fewer and fewer people value honesty and hate lies. Instead, many of us are getting caught up in the constant flow of lies in the media. We're almost entertained by the next big scandalous lie. This weakens our integrity. We need to return to basics, valuing truth and rejecting lies!
Verse 6 reminds us that righteousness protects our integrity. But where can we learn to be righteous? Proverbs is a great place to start!
Lemme ask you: Do you hate lies, or do you look forward to the next shocking bit of fake news? Either way, it's important to keep studying the Scriptures and take each proverb to heart!
