Proverbs 10:18 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"Whoever hides hatred has lying lips, And whoever spreads slander is a fool." (Proverbs 10:18 NKJV)

Reveals more attribute of fools. They are those who have undeniable proof before them and still will not believe. They are not able to determine truth but will prefer to believe a lie.

Once, on top of St Moritz Switzerland, we were in a spot surrounded on every side by the most fantastic snow-capped alpine peaks that I had ever seen. No two of them were alike in color or shape, and I said to myself, "Only a fool could look at this and say there is no God". Only fools, could say that the beauty and the harmony of colors we see around us just happened by accident. Fools can't see the hand of the Almighty Designer. Or, they refuse to say the truth. In their heart hatred is hidden. They lie!

Lying is having no understanding of why we must tell the truth. A person who tells something untrue about someone else and tears down their good name has no understanding and is therefore a fool.

Both the harboring and venting of hatred are wrong and will be accounted for on the day reckoning. God's commands forbid slander, gossips or lies.

It is written: “Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. “Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the lord. (Leviticus 19:16 NLT)

And I say, AMEN!
