When God says...
"A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame." (Proverbs 13:5 NKJV)
He affirms that a person walking right with God detest lying and any semblance of evil. He walks in the path of grace under the light of truth of the words of the Lord. Knowing that lies shatter the very foundation of every relationship, a person who honors His creator, reflects that in his honesty with the people around him. He glorifies God by the words that he speaks, which cascade through the bond of love to his wife, to his children and to the people who care for him.
But, the loathsome symptom of disgrace comes from a heart infected by deception and immorality. A person who acts in tandem with the wicked has his day of reckoning. He follows his every whim straight to its unpleasant consequences. Yet, God loves him. God loves us all. He sent His only Son to meet us where we're at. We may be broken by lies and schemes, and running away from God. Even so, He sought us. He seeks us. He will seek us.
If we are caught up by lying and wickedness, all we need to do is stop! Stop running! Turn around! Come to Jesus. Surrender to His mercy. He will not put us to shame. He loves us deeply-where nothing can separate us from His love. He receives and exhorts us with the words of assurance He spoke to the adulterous woman. It is written- "Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:10, 11 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
