Quiet Time TAKEAWAY:
When we degrade others with deceitful words, we disgrace ourselves in front of God.
My NOTES:
Sometimes I read the Psalms backwards and the message is stronger. In Psalm 52 David is wrestling with betrayal and deceit from another:
“Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: …”
Psalm 52:5
“You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue!”
Psalm 52:4
“Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?”
Psalm 52:1
My TAKEAWAY:
Our deceitful words disgrace us in front of God. Our words matter.
