God Hates Lying
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors.
Psalms 5:6 (NIV)
David paints God unretouched: you destroy liars; bloodthirsty, deceitful men the Lord abhors. Abhors — strong verbs for loving Gods. Lying is no social peccadillo but theological abomination: God is truth; lies contradict His essence. Lying declares war on divine nature — and wars against God always lose.
Trust in true Gods dispenses lies. We lie from fear — losing, looking bad, suffering; trusters never need falsehood. Truth spoken lovingly resolves sans destroying: confessing debts, admitting errors, refusing shortcuts. Liars build card castles in gales; truthful sleep in rock houses. God hates lying because loving liars enough to warn them.
Dismantling one lie today: confessing exaggerations, correcting information, owning errors. God hates lying: loving truth today, living light.
Spoken truths free trapped lies. Speaking first ones today. Always love truth daily, deeply, fully and loudly. True tongues build durable bridges daily. Speak today fearlessly, masklessly. Loving truths heal ancient wounds. Transparency attracts permanent trust. Flattering traps catch foolish feet regularly. Prefer hard truths kindly delivered. Honesty outlasts applause eternally. Walk openly always and everywhere. Hate lies daily. Love truth.
And distrusting honeyed lips: flattery is perfumed lying. Preferring hard truths.
