Stand For The Truth
2 Chro. 18:13-15
Always determine to stand for the truth, come what may. When you want to please or impress someone else, it is tempting to lie to make yourself look good. Ahab’s 400 prophets did just that, telling Ahab only what he wanted to hear. They were then rewarded for making Ahab happy. Micaiah, however, told the truth and got arrested. Obeying God doesn’t always protect us from evil consequences. Obedience may, in fact, provoke them but it is better to suffer people’s displeasure than to incur God’s wrath.
Point of Emphasis: Your standing for the truth will someday be rewarded, never compromise
Prayer Point: Help me to always stand for the truth anywhere I find myself.
