Title: Live By the Knowledge of Truth

Scriptures: Proverbs 22:12

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Today, God tells us to seek knowledge or pursue it rather than deception.  Verse 12 of Chapter 22 says, "God guards knowledge with a passion, but he’ll have nothing to do with deception." God, Himself, protects knowledge and ensure its validity kept safe or its value intact but he does not want anything to do with deception.  It is important that we strive to know and live the truth rather than be blinded by deception or worst, become a deceiver.  Sometimes, it is easier to believe what others tell us and just trust their words rather than seek to know the truth and undertand it.  This is in the point of the receiver of the deception. Sometimes it is easier for us to make up lies and deceive others than tell the truth or allow others to know the truth.  But today, God tells us that He guards, He protects, He secure knowledge or the truth, so whether we decide to tell it or not, the truth remains intact and whole...and someday, when God permits, it will come out and reveal itself.  However for those who decides to deceive or tell lies to others, God has nothing to do with them so there's no one protecting or guarding them, which means they are open to attack of the enemy, which is safe to say that their end is destruction.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for the truth, Thank You for the knowledge of the truth Lord.  Help me to remain truthful at all times and to ensure that I speak the truth and not lies that will deceive others.  Help me to live the truth in my life and to choose it at all times, knowing that Your protection comes with the truth.  Help me to resist telling lies Lord, whether intentionally or not.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today

Proverbs 22:12 (The Message Version)

God guards knowledge with a passion, but he’ll have nothing to do with deception.

God delights in the knowledge of the truth and guards it with passion.  So we ought to live by it with the knowledge and assurance that when we do speak of the knowledge of the truth (Christ), then we are guarded and protected by God Himself.  However when we lie and deceive others, we know that nothing good will come out of it because God has nothing to do with it.

May we live in the knowledge of truth today.

Happy Tuesday!
