day no. 14,581: a land of liars

Psalm 120
We need deliverance from the lies we've told, the lies being told against us, and the fact that we've grown accustomed to living in the land of liars. We have personal responsibility for our own words. We have fudged the facts when it benefited us. When it made us look better than we are or made us look less bad than we truly are. It is the Christian who has the confidence to speak plainly. Some are slandering us without cause and it produces a particular consternation of wanting the truth to be known. It is the Christian who can rest well knowing that God knows the truth and will vindicate completely from false accusation. We have pitched our tents too long in a place were lies are the familiar tongue. We are in danger of adopting their accent. We need to leave town before we become a townie.
