Good afternoon friends!!

Don’t you hate it when a thought interrupts your day and overstays it’s welcome?! Me too!! I was doing the dishes {when am I not?} and I had a thought about dishonest people {ugh}. Trying to decode why people lie is almost impossible. You’ll hear lots of reasons why but truth is there is only one real reason anyone lies…fear. I know all the times I’ve lied {guilty} has been out of fear. Fear of consequences. Fear of what the truth will look /sound like. Fear of what I will look like if I tell the truth. Honestly, the truth sometimes is a scary thing. 

Truth requires more out of us. Telling a lie is the easy way out. We don’t have to confront ourselves or others. We get to hide a little bit longer and avoid the inevitable…truth or consequence {a result or effect of an act or condition}. The bible says the truth will set you free…free from what? Free from strings that lies are attached to {my condensed definition}. Guilt. Shame. Condemnation and ultimately sin. We as Christians know the truth {Jesus, his word} and yet we settle for lies everyday that chain and bind us like a slave to the enemy and in return it results in a lifestyle of sin and destruction. 

I wanted to judge the liar and realized that I too, have been one. I am one every time I tell myself anything contrary to Gods word; when I comply and agree with the enemy when he whispers lies in my ear. I want to be an honest person but I must know the truth…Gods word! Live it. Believe it. Speak it and then I’m free from lies and the hurt they bring. 

Lying is a temporary fix for a deeply rooted fear. God is the only one who can dismantled our fears with his truth and love that leads to right believing and right living. Next time you’re tempted to lie think…What am I afraid of? I guarantee if you process this and begin to practice truth in your inner being you’ll be less tempted to lie to yourself or anyone else. 

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.           Psalm 51:6

If you knew someone to be a liar would you continue to believe a word they said? Sadly, we do it everyday, all day. The bible says the enemy {satan} is the father of lies. His sole purpose is to get us to believe every whisper he says in our ear; you’re not good enough, nothing will ever change, no one loves you, you can’t do that, quit so you don’t look like a fool. These are all lies!!! His primary cause is to draw us away from the truth of Gods word that says; We are overcomers, We are the righteousness of God, We are created for a purpose, Jesus loves us, We can do all things through Christ. We are told to put on the belt of truth because a belt secures our clothing and holds our weapons. It’s crucial that we believe and hold onto the truth of Gods word for our everyday life. For without it we are running into battle unequipped and looking like a fool with our pants on the ground. Honestly, nobody has time for that!! Lord may we discern your voice today above the lies and confusion. Open our ears to know your voice and may every lie of the devil be extinguished in Jesus name…Amen!!!
