Our subject last week was TRUTH. Every woman had some very powerful insight and scripture to match up with it.
Cindy had us look at the book of Acts. She shared with us that the worst lie is the one with ..."a little truth in it", when we attach an untruth to the truth...we are dishonoring the commands of God's Word.
Shirley talked to us about being TRUE to what you know is righteous. She knows that God wants us to speak the truth in every circumstance. Romans 3:4, John 6:55 and John 7:28 Have no fear for Shirley will tell you straight up the truth and nothing but the truth!
Diane is stuck in Proverbs and rightfully so (good place to be stuck!).... check it out for yourself... Prov 14:25-26 & 16:21 and then Prov 17:4 think on that one!
Kay talked about how I lie all the time when I tell her how nice she looks!!! NOT! Kay, you always look nice and I ain't lyin' :) actually, I lost my notes on Kay's scripture references! I am safe because I know she will forgive me. She always has a good and honest word to say!
I reflected on how God's Promises are Truth. I also confessed that I actually told two tiny untruths this week that were harmless...wrong. I became very aware that the evil one tried to trip me up because I was preparing for my speaking engagement where the subject matter is truth! Let us not forget that we are to be awake and ready to rebuke Satan the moment he tries to play in our minds! Honesty is the best policy and when you are the truthful one and the liar seems to win...remember this...God will bless you in a mighty way for your righteousness. All you have to do is be aware of your blessings and know that God's Grace is sufficient! Joyfully yours, Marianne
