Proverbs 12

It only took about 3 minutes to read through these wise sayings. Verse 19 lays down a foundation that we all need to hear. The Message presents that verese like this: "Truth lasts; lies are here today, gone tomorrow." That is why the nineth commandment is included in the base of the law. Only God can define truth, our choice is to receive it as true or make up a falsehood that our enemy thrust into our thoughts. Even when we claim a lie as the truth everyone can see right through it. Like an old worn-out garment, lies provide no protection and have little value. And they won't stand up to the test of time and serious scrutiny.  Truth lasts, no doubt about it.
