How often is bluster and rumors used to deflect from the truth and attempt to make the foolish themselves look better? More often than we think. Man’s fear can consume and make him a fool and a lier. Really? Read about the kings of Israel.
Proverbs 26:4-5 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
In other words answer a foolish persons foolishness with truth. With truth there is nothing to hide and no need for the fifth.
Proverbs 12:19 The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
Proverbs 26:27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall gain new strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
The truth steals a lies thunder.
Do we truly believe God isn’t watching?
