Read Proverbs14:5
Solomon is reminding us that someone who is faithful will not let you
down. If they are honest and trustworthy
with you, they will be honest and trustworthy with other people as well. When
they give a witness in court, they will always tell the truth. That is because they are an honest person
inside. But a dishonest person is
dishonest on the inside. And they are dishonest
when they can get away with being dishonest.
They will pretend that they are cheating for you. They will whisper
to you and say, “Boss, I worked hard for you today and made you extra
money.” That means that they must have
cheated other people to get more money for you. But, if a dishonest person will cheat someone
else to get you more money, later,
they will cheat you in order to get
more money for themselves. The reason is
that a dishonest person is always
dishonest. They may be your friend and be
honest with you for a while, but eventually, when it suits their need,
they will cheat you too. That is because
they are a cheat and dishonest on the inside.
What are you like on the inside?
Are you truthful? Will you lie or
cheat? Remember, God sees your heart.
