‘My words are plain to anyone with understanding.’
Proverbs 8:9 NLT
King Solomon wrote: ‘Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception. My advice is wholesome. There is nothing devious or crooked in it. My words are plain to anyone with understanding’ (vv. 6-9 NLT). We usually embellish the truth in order to get these two things: the attention and the approval of the listener. But eventually, it backfires. Over time, people discover your propensity to stretch the truth, and you lose your credibility with them. And once you lose that, it takes a long time to get it back – if ever. Sweeping statements like ‘Everybody does it,’ or ‘You never,’ or ‘You always’ cause people to discount you and eventually slot you as untrustworthy. It’s okay to say something with enthusiasm but avoid exaggeration. Stick to the facts and resist the urge to be the centre of attention by engaging in this form of lying. Joseph’s brothers resented the favour of God that was on his life. So, they threw him into a pit, dipped his coat in blood, then took it back home and showed it to their ageing father. They didn’t say a word. They simply let the old man conclude that his son had been devoured by a wild beast. And what’s more, they allowed him to live with that cruel lie for years. Revelation 22:15 says, ‘Whosoever loveth and maketh a lie’ is lumped together with ‘sorcerers…whoremongers…murderers, and idolaters’ (KJV). So, unless that’s the company you want to be identified with, tell the whole truth. Today make your prayer, ‘Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and…a deceitful tongue’ (Psalm 120:2 NKJV). Amen 🙏

I wanted to post you a very little note to finally say thanks as before for all the pretty techniques you have contributed here. It was shockingly generous of people like you to convey without restraint exactly what most of us could have marketed as an ebook to help make some profit for their own end, notably now that you might well have tried it if you ever considered necessary. These techniques in addition served to be a good way to know that other people online have a similar desire just like my personal own to grasp significantly more on the topic of this matter. I am certain there are many more pleasant periods ahead for people who look into your website.
