Pro 30:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me
them not before I die:
Pro 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me
neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Pro 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who
is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Remove from me lies.
Lies.
We live lies all the
time. Lies roll off our lips and out of our mouth before we even know what
we're doing sometimes. Lying has become an acceptable form of life. We think
nothing of the 'white lies', the 'lies to spare feelings', the lies we deem acceptable. Yet, a lie is a lie, isn't it?
We've had tv shows,
movies etc all about lying and the glorifying of doing so. We've seen the fictional near ruin of a man
unable to lie forced to realize just how much his life was spent lying. When you try NOT to lie, really not to lie
at all you realize just how much you do lie.
Two things… remove
far from me vanity and LIES.
Remove from me lies.
We need God to
remove lies from us, we really do.
This flesh nature of
ours is a wicked thing, very wicked thing.
The flesh will consume us with all its lust if we do NOT give our hearts
to God. If we do not realize how hopeless we are without Him.
Without God we have
NO HOPE. All the hope we tell ourselves
that we have, all the hope we LIE to ourselves and say we have on our own
without God is the GREATEST LIE we can ever tell. There is ONLY hope in God. We can't trust even ourselves for hope, only
GOD.
Please, Father,
please remove from us lies! We would NOT lie!
Please, Lord, please, save us from ourselves and the flesh nature within
us that would have us follow evil, not good.
Bless us, keep us,
help us, love us, save us!
All in the name of
our Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord.
