We live in a world that presents us with myriad temptations. These temptations have the potential to destroy us, in part because they cause us to be dishonest with ourselves and with others. Dishonesty is a habit. Once we start bending the truth, we're likely to keep twisting it. Of course, a far better strategy is to acquire the habit of being completely forthright with God, with other people, and with ourselves. Honesty is also a habit. It is a habit that pays powerful dividends for those who place character above convenience. The next time you are tempted to bend the truth or break it, ask yourself this simple question: what does God want me to do? Then listen carefully to your conscience. When you do, your actions will be honorable, and your character will take care of itself. Let us ask God to help us see the truth, speak the truth, and live the truth today and every day of our lives.– Ephesians 4:25
