White Lie?

Have you ever thought it is better to lie than get in trouble for the telling the truth? Sadly, I had to learn the hard way that I would have been better telling someone the truth rather than thinking that a "small lie" would be my best options.

Abraham thought it best to lie about being married to Sarah. Is half truth, resulted in his wife being taken and also announcement that God would take Abimelech's life. Not only did Abraham's lie impact is wife but also Abimelech, king of Gerar.

Gen 20:1-3 Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar. 2 Abraham said of Sarah his wife, " She is my sister." So Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married."NASU

There is no such thing as a small white lie. All lies open the door to more trouble.

Put a guard over your month and be truthful.
