Remove from me lies

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.
