Proverbs 19 continues to deal with issues of people who need to clean up their speech. It's not just in the areas of curse words but actually in the areas of always being truthful.

I am sure that I am not the only person who has been the victim of someone who has shared false information. You know how it feels to have things said about you that is absolutely not true. So that should remind us to watch what we say when we are tempted to do the same to another person.

How tempting it is to fire back with opponents with harsh words of criticism and hate. But Proverbs 19:5 tells us that God knows what every person says and does. He even goes on to tell us that He will not put up with it.

Proverbs 19:5 - "A false witness will not go unpunished and he who tells lies will not escape."

Prayer: "God, help me to watch everything that comes out of my mouth today. Ensure that I only speak the truth no matter how tempting it may be to lie out of a situation."
