Proverbs 21
I read these Proverbs on Sunday or Monday and plan to meditate on them all week long.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death. 21.6
It looks so good, it seems so desirable.
So much so that lying, alienating people and disregarding God are worth it.
But is it really? Of course not.
Nobody lies, takes advantage of people, and disobeys God because they want to harm themselves!
We do these things because we think there is profit and pleasure in the treasures and temptations that are enticing us.
But these are fleeting vapors.
Oh to see through the smoke and mirrors!
Lord help me to see clearly.
And, Lord, give this insight to my sons and daughter that they might avoid the snare of death.
