Proverbs 6:16-19 "...........a lying tongue........"

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    Solomon was a wise king.  He gave us many warnings; this week we will visit one of the smallest body parts, but one which hurts and cuts deepest - the tongue!
   Proverbs 6:16-19 "These things doth the LORD hate, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren."
   Proverbs 6 gives us warnings against folly.  If you would like to listen as you read, click on Proverbs 6 .   Let us focus on one item Solomon is telling us that God hates.  And that is????
Yes, "a lying tongue" which is something that will get us all into trouble.  How easy it is to lie, when telling the truth would be a must more viable answer.  Why do people lie?  Why do you lie?
    I believe, to be a good liar, you would have to keep a book to know who you told what lie to.  Wow!  Would this ever be a lot of work.  And you know the funny thing about the truth!?!?!  IT NEVER CHANGES!!
    A friend of mine and I were called to testify for/against a friend of ours at a hearing years ago.  The funny thing is, we told the truth, the truth does not change, yet some in the hearing thought we were lying to protect the friend.  We were not in there together, nor did we hear what each other had said, we told the same story, yet some doubted.  Why?   Is this satan? When heard again later, guess what?  Yes, the story was the same.  TRUTH DOES NOT CHANGE, lies waiver as a stalk of wheat in the wind; going this way and then that way.
    A lying tongue,  but let me leave you with this question my friend; Bonhoffer, a Bible professor in Germany during the 30's & 40's, asked his students: "Is there such a thing as a necessary lie?"  What do you think?  Love you all.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
In Christ's Love and Grace
