Holy Father, we come to You today to thank You for showing us the value of speaking truth. As we go through the day let us keep our talk pure, and say no evil about anyone. Keep us focused on You and avoid any gossip or slanderous talk. Keep our tongues pure, never saying anything untrue about anyone. Praying in the name of Jesus. Amen

My high school daughter asked me last week why students and teachers talk so much about other people. The holy spirit convicted me and asked me, "Rick, what would happen if when you heard about someone (gossip) or had the urge to tell others about someone (gossip), you prayed for them instead? Imagine how we could change the world. " I going to do that with his help.
46/365: Speak Truth
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor." ~ God Exodus 20:16
In order for us to be an effective disciple of Christ, people must believe our witness. When we choose to spread rumors, tell half-truths, or worse... lie about someone, we erode our credibility.
As bold men of God, we offer our word as our bond and our witness. We speak truth and we strive to build up our neighbors.
Today, ask God to choke back any untruth you may hear and kill it by not sharing it.
