I am going through this right now I have someone who is deliberately lying because of greed and in my opinion is flat out evil. They have even conned others to lie for them. But I rest and know my Father loves me and His light is upon me even when this time in my life looks so dark.

While reading His word this comforted me so if any one else is going through something like that give this a read, comment on here and I will be praying for you and would ask that you all would pray for me. Our God is bigger! Amen

Proverbs 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will perish.

This proverb is all about dishonest people – “a false witness” and “whoever pours out lies.” They don’t sound very nice…and neither is what happens to them.
“A false witness” is one who affirms something to be true that they know isn’t. The idea of “witness” here suggests passing along information that is serious or important.

That it is “false” make it clear this wasn’t a flippant statement – they weren’t confused or mistaken. They simply spoke an untruth about an important matter – whether in official legal business or personal relationships.

“Whoever pours out lies” is a similar person and action, although the term suggests a bit more focus on deception. That their lies “pour out” suggests it’s almost compulsive!

While there’s a tendency to think these folks might be slick enough in their dishonestly and deception to get away with it – in truth, it always catches up with them.

This verse notes they “will not go unpunished” – literally will not be “clean” of their guilt. They “will perish,” that is be ruined or destroyed.

Of course, this can happen many different ways. Frequently they’re exposed publicly and literally lose everything.

Admittedly, some may never be legally convicted – but they have to live with the consequences of their choices – and being that kind of person makes lots of enemies! Then there is the burden and guilt that tends to eat us up alive on the inside.

And God’s not mentioned here, at all. But we know He’s been watching and He will get involved!

Before Friday was good, it was a day of sorrow, it was a day that evil flourished, a day the earth shaked and darkness covered it's face for hours.
Think about it, step into the disciples shoes it was a day that the world stole their hope away, tortured it, and murdered it on the Cross. Their hope was Jesus Christ, they walked with Him, they new He was the son of God.
The day of the cross wrecked their whole mind set. They new Christ was there to usher in the truth, to bring all things back into balance, He was The King who finally came to make things right. So when Christ was Crucified they had no idea what happened, their love, their hope was crushed, destroyed and buried.
The hours after the Cross were intense, nothing made sense, Jesus family soaked the ground with tears, and many of the disciples were hiding in fear, imagine their thoughts, imagine the sickening stress, the extreme heart ache, the confusion, the regrets......what they didn't know is something was going on behind the scenes ushering in the glorious grace of God! "...Weeping may terry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." The resurrection is coming!
