Good morning brethren, here we go with another faithful day.
Psalm 24:3-4 Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.
Commentary: This can refer to all lies, but especially those told under oath. How greatly God values honesty! Dishonesty comes easily, especially when complete truthfulness could cost us something, make us uncomfortable, or put us in an unfavorable light. Dishonest communication hinders relationships. Without honesty, a relationship with God is impossible. If we lie to others, we will begin to deceive ourselves. We cannot hear God speak to us if we are building a wall of self-deception.
The Lord is our strength. Have a wonderful Friday.
