Truth!

For Tuesday, December 17, 2024:

Deuteronomy 5:20 NKJV, God’s words: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

This commandment teaches that we are to be truthful. In a court of law, an eyewitness is king! “I saw him pull the trigger, and watched the body fall to the ground.” That kind of damning testimony can send someone to prison for a long time! And our God wants us to speak only the truth!

This principle applies even when we aren’t on the witness stand. In everyday life let your ‘yes’ be ‘yes,’ and your ‘no’ actually be ‘no.’ When a Christian speaks, we should assume that their word is good.

Take gossip off your things-to-do list. Sometimes gossip is spreading rumors and untruths. Other times it’s gloating over someone’s misfortune. Either way, we shouldn’t be a part of it.

The words spoken by a follower of Jesus should be truth, words like He would say!
