Scripture Readings:  Proverbs 26:13-22, Daniel 10-11:35, Revelation 3:7-22

Reflection Verses:  Proverbs 26:18-19

Reflection:  Beloved, the Word teaches that deceiving someone intentionally is a sin. Deception is malicious in its intent and brings harm to people. There is no excuse for it.  Truth is too important and valuable to be handled as a joke. Every believer should keep in mind that God hates deception! 

Prayer:  Lord, thank You for loving me enough to teach me truth. Help me to understand, and to handle truth as the valuable commodity that it is. Give me the power to use truth wisely, to encourage others and to seek their best interests… In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
