Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that she innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Do you speak deceptively to make yourself look good?
Ananias and Sapphira are contrasted to Barnabas in the Book of Acts. He is noted for his generosity (Acts 4:34-37). Luke writes about him, “having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet” (Acts 4:37). Conversely, the satanically influenced couple concocts a hypocritical plan, which costs them their lives (Acts 5:1-10). God hates “a lying tongue,” which literally means “a tongue of deception” (Proverbs 6:17). We need to speak truth and not craft words to manipulate people to think highly of us.
Employment Point: Avoid deceiving others with a deceptive tongue.
