We don't usually view lying as a big sin. In our heads, lying is not that bad, right? We think it depends on the degree of the lie we´re telling. For us, covering for a murder isn’t the same as telling someone we are a couple years younger than we are. Wrong. Lying is always a bad idea. Both the “big” and the “small” lies are sins.
Proverbs 12:22 says that lying is an abomination to the Lord. What does this word mean? Abomination means a thing or action that is vile, vicious, or terrible. It comes from the Old French word abominacion, meaning "horror, repugnance, disgust." The word abomination can also be used to refer to a person or object you find utterly loathsome and repellent. If you look at someone else as an abomination, that means you are horrified by them.
I don't know about you, but I don't want God to think about me as an abomination when He sees me.
Let´s be women who speak truth in every circumstance. If you feel the urge to lie, ask the Lord to help you and ask for forgiveness every time you fall into the temptation of lying.
Dear Father, please forgive me for the lies I've told and the hurt they have caused. Help me to remember to speak the truth, regardless of the consequences. In Jesus’ name, amen.
