Nothing is as nerve wracking as finding
out that someone has lied on, about or to you.
It can cause emotions to run wild at the thought of someone speaking
falsehoods and defending the lies to their last breath. The bible scripture for
today lets us know that liars will not go unpunished. They may seem to get away with their unscrupulous
behavior for the moment and even may succeed at certain stations in life because
of their bending of the truth; but ultimately they will not escape the fate
that awaits their final judgment.
The key for us is that we must not waste
our time, effort and energy on seeking revenge or getting them to renounce their
treacherous statements. It is a waste of
time. Many who chose a lifestyle of
lying are in denial of basic realities and often do not feel remorse even if
caught in the middle of a falsehood. It
was once said that the best way to beat a lie is to live the truth. Bearing false
witness, lying, fibbing and stretching the truth are all realities steeped in
the psychology of manipulation. Those who choose to lie want to have control; so
the best way to handle this is to not lose control by flying off the handle or
allowing our emotions to take the wheel. In essence, you may never be able to stop the propaganda
but you can handle the way that you react. God sees and knows all. He knows the truth and those who speak and
live it. He knows who bends the law and
who breaks it; trust that his judgment will be fair and that those who live
ungodly will be punished. Live your
truth!
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
