Tell the Truth

Scripture Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Observation: Sometimes it is hard to be honest. It’s easier just saying nice things without confrontation, even though honest rebuke might benefit a friend. Someone I love is going through a rough time and she is the victim of a violent attack, but the problem started with her. It seems that it would be heartless to mention her part in this downfall at this time, but would it be helpful to open her eyes?

Application: I need to stay in prayer and seek God’s counsel in what to do and say. What I might consider to be wise might not be wise at all. I need to take in consideration what God desires and if what I’m doing is for God’s glory or just interfering.

Prayer: My Lord give me knowledge and wisdom to make right decisions and do what you desire. May I speak when you call me to speak and be silent when you want me to listen.
