Proverbs 12:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue
lasts only a moment.
"Tell the truth the first time, then you won't have to
remember what you said." This truism by the famous Speaker of the House,
Sam Rayburn, is good medicine for us today. Telling a lie seems gratifying at
the time, but it nearly always catches up with us and gives us the added burden
of trying to remember what we said and why. Truth endures; a lie is a momentary
illusion that ends up a trap filled with burdens.
Thought for today:
Am I in the habit of “spinning” tales?
