When you try to get by with a lie, you ALWAYS lose even when it seems like youıve gotten away with it! The Bible tells us that our lies will come back around to do harm in the long run.
Have you ever seen someone get caught in a lie? Did they respond by apologizing, or did they try to tell another lie to get out of it?
Many times little ³white lies² grow up to be big ugly lies. Itıs sort of like dropping a pebble into a pond the splash may be small, but the rings get bigger and bigger. Thatıs how problems grow with lies you have to tell a bigger one to cover up the last, and an even bigger one to cover up that one, and on it goes
Make a decision today to always be honest that way, you never have to have a good memory!
Application:
· Can you think of a time when you got caught in a lie? Wouldnıt it have been easier to just tell the truth than to suffer the consequences of that lie?
· Ask God to help you be a person of integrity.
