Don't Sink Ships!

"Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool." -Proverbs 10:18 (NIV)

There is a saying that originated during World War II that says, "Loose lips might sink ships."  The intention was to remind people that talk and spreading of information could have disastrous consequences.  There are times when trying to "whitewash" hatred can also lead to negative outcomes.  We need to be sure our lips, our words and actions, are rooted in God's will to have positive outcomes!

God is truth.  God is love.  When we are following God's will we should not engage in lying and we should not engage in hatred.  We should not hide hatred with lies and we should not spread false information.  When we are following God, we can Him to fill our lives with His truth and love.  With His truth and love, we can then show others what God can offer them in their lives.  God gives us the Good News that we can share that is neither based on hatred nor lies and will never sink our ships!

Don't allow your lips to sink ships, but rely on God's truth and love to raise each other up!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and guidance.  Help me to be filled with and spreading Your truth and love through all of my words and actions.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
