Proverbs 3:3 - Let love and faithfulness never leave you...

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

We are to pay special care to being merciful and truthful. These attributes "win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man" (Prov 3:4). We are to wear these attributes around our neck like a permanent necklace and write them on our hearts like a tablet.

Mercy and truth are at the core of who we need to be inwardly and how we act outwardly.

Proverbs 12:22 - The LORD detests lying lips...

The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

God is truth. When we lie, it pushes us further and further away from knowing Him because He is truth.

God detests our lies; they are an abomination of who He is. However, when we choose to be truthful, we bring joy the Lord.

We make choices every day when we speak. Today and every day, choose truth.
