God Knows The Truth

God Knows The Truth “Don’t you put words in my mouth!” How offensive it is when someone takes what we’ve said out of context. We can so easily substitute words for that of the original. We may do this ignorantly or intentionally. A naïve heart could be understood and forgiven but a malicious heart is difficult to understand. Even adding a simple word like “and” can change the context of our whole thought. We may choose to change the meaning of another’s opinion by emphasizing a word that can change the intent, perhaps attempting to prove our own ill intended actions true. We may be bold enough to try manipulating human beings into believing our version of the truth. However, we are cautioned to not be so bold with God. We are reminded in Proverbs 30 that, “Every word of God proves true. Do not add to his words or he will rebuke you, and you will be found a liar.” We must align our behavior with each other to coincide with how we treat God’s word. It is not wise to toggle back and forth, lest we forget to whom we are speaking to. We may fool one another, but God knows the truth.
