"An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips." -- Proverbs 24:26

To not know... to be in the dark... to not understand what is happening around you can be one of the worst things.  Not nearly as bad though, than when you're being deceived or lied to.  It is one thing to not be informed, it is quite another to be misinformed.

If we are to make sense of this world and this life we live, then we need to be honest with one another.  One of the oldest laws on record calls for us to not bear false witness.  Whenever someone lies, we are breaking that 9th commandment.  If you are needing to confess something, don't hold it in.  If you need to right a wrong, do so.  God has given this day to you, and you have an opportunity to be set free in the truth. 

Readings:  Jeremiah 6:15-8:7; Colossians 2:8-23; Psalm 78:1-31; Proverbs 24:26
