Be truthful
Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,
'The LORD detests double standards;
he is not pleased by dishonest scales.'
— Proverbs 20:23
“Dishonest scales” refers to the loaded scales a merchant might use in order to cheat the customers. Dishonesty is a difficult sin to avoid. It is easy to cheat if we think no one else is looking. But dishonesty affects the very core of a person. It makes him untrustworthy and untrusting. It eventually makes him unable to know himself or relate to others.
Don't take dishonesty lightly. Even the smallest portion of dishonesty contains enough of the poison of deceit to kill your spiritual life. If there is any dishonesty in your life, tell God about it now.
'...All who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.' Psalms 63:11
O God, heal the sinful diseases and tendencies of our soul, body, and mind by the blood of Christ!
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
Jesus loves you!
