A HALF truth is a WHOLE lie!
Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause;
and deceive not with thy lips
Psalm 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
Psalm 120:2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
I have often wondered why I needed to pray for something when according to the Word, He already knows before I ask, “be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matthew 6:8). Then I realized that I need to pray in order that I might be changed. Our prayer time is more about changing and maturing us than having our needs met.

Proverbs 25:15 A soft tongue breaketh the bone.
James 3:5-6 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity:so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Proverbs 12:18-19 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:but the tongue of the wise is health.The lip of truth shall be established for ever:but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Psalm 53:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God”
John 6:68 Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
Last week as I was getting my feet wet in the beautiful Pacific Ocean being a bit dubious to step out further due to the incoming white surf of the huge breaking waves behind me I was reminded of an old gospel song from the Cathedral Quartet.
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Wet your feet in the water of His love
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper.
Not all waters are as inviting and warm as the Pacific Ocean yet I do know that regardless of incoming crashing waves in our lives we can have the confidence to wade out a little deeper into the water and warmth of His love.
Matthew 17:28-31 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt.”
Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will not fear the crashing surf of those incoming waves.
