Bible Verse of the Day:
The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. 23 The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves, but a fool’s heart blurts out folly, Proverbs 12:22-23.
Biblical Connection:
Miles Logan is a jewel thief who poses as a member of the Los Angelos Police Department. After serving 2 years in prison, Miles is trying to gain access to a diamond that he hid in this police station. While Miles is a smooth talker, the young detective he is paired with begins to notice his unusual practices and statements. In the end, Miles’ lying caught up with him.
While being raised by the King of Israel, Solomon was taught to tell the truth. Perhaps, his father’s fall from grace in 2 Samuel 12 inspired David to ensure that his children don’t repeat his past mistakes. When the Holy Spirit inspired to write the book of Proverbs, telling the truth is crucial. To those who continue to stretch the truth, lying lips will catch up with you.
Closing Song:
As the father of all lies, John 8:44, the more something is repeated it is perceived to be true. This is how the Devil has controlled the air waves and social media. Yet, once you exaggerate just a bit, sooner or later lying with catch up with you.
