A very human weakness

We are prone to lie. It’s very human to be slightly or significantly deceitful. It is one of the truest marks of our sin nature.

Colossians 3:9 is pretty clear, “Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices.”

Proverbs 30:7 says it in a more personal way.

“Two things I ask of you;

deny them not to me before I die:

Remove far from me falsehood and lying;

give me neither poverty nor riches;

feed me with the food that is needful for me,

lest I be full and deny you

and say, “Who is the LORD?”

or lest I be poor and steal

and profane the name of my God.”

He is asking God to remove the sin of lying from him.

That is worthy and healthy prayer.
