They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. (Psa 12:2)
Jesus did warn us that the mouth cannot hide the true
condition of the heart. Deceitful words are spoken every moment with selfish
intents, trap laid with lures to draw victims. Many have fallen into various traps because of the lures that seem to be able to satisfy an inward void.
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is
weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. (Psa 131:2)
We can have the propensity to filter out what is truth and
what are lies. The offer is open to everyone who trusts in Jesus, it’s a matter
of what state we desire to be. From where do we draw our life and satisfaction
or do we desire temporal gratification. Have we found the Pearl of Great Price
or even chose the good which can be the enemy of the best? When we have
discovered that there is a better place and position in Christ, any deceitful
words will be deflected as truth will be our shield.
