February 10: Heavenly Happiness.
God Delights in Those Who Follow the Truth.
The Lord detest lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.--Proverbs 12:22, NIV
EVERYTHING THAT CHRISTIANS DO should be as transparent as the sunlight. Truth is of God; deception, in every one of its myriad forms, is of Satan; and whoever in any way departs from the straight line of truth is betraying himself into the power of the wicked one. Yet it is not a light or an easy thing to speak the exact truth. We cannot speak the truth unless we know the truth; and how often preconceived opinions, mental bias, imperfect knowledge, errors of judgment, prevent a right understanding of matters with which we have to do! We cannot speak the truth unless our minds are continually guided by Him who is truth....
Those who have learned of Christ will "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness." Ephesians 5:11. In speech, as in life, they will be simple, straightforward, and true; for they are preparing for the fellowship of those holy ones in whose mouth "was found no guile." Revelation 14:5.--Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 68, 69.
The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all the godlessness and wickedness of people,
who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
--Romans 1:18, NIV
