Lies are easy. The more we do it, the easier it becomes. What’s the harm in stretching the truth a little. It’s just a little white lie? It didn’t hurt anyone.
God has another word for stretching the truth. He calls it lying. A lie is a lie to God. There are not little lies or big lies. He says, "Do not testify falsely against your neighbor” (Exodus 20:16), and “Do not lie” (Leviticus 19:11). God knows that lying is destructive. It separates us from God. It erodes our character and destroys our reputation. It makes us less like God.
Remember the words of Jesus when He said, “I am the truth.” We count on Him to tell the truth. We rely on the truth of His word to pattern our lives after it. His word never changes. We can trust Him with everything in our lives. If he told even one white lie, then we couldn’t trust anything he had to say. I am so thankful that God never lies. We can trust everything he does and everything His word says.
