*"Delighting the Lord by Truth"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight."* Proverbs 12:22 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
God's stand on truth is unshakeable.
Welcome to our world where changing facts, editing real videos into something different from what actually happened, threats against revealing the truth of things to the world, etc are all acceptable norms.
Indeed, the need to remind ourselves that God is still a truth loving God cannot be overemphasized.
God delights in those who choose the truth against all odds.

*"Back To Sender"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief."* Proverbs 12:21 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
The wicked shall be filled with mischief.
All things being equal, God's justice system will never let the wicked go scot free.
The principle of "Back to Sender" is one that simply rides on the general principle of sowing and reaping, or reaping what one sows.
The wicked shall not go unpunished. Wickedness will attract divine judgment when there is no repentance.
God is committed to answer every cry for justice.
And "back to sender" is one of the ways he ensures justice.
_MEDITATION:_
*May those who plot evil against you become a victim of their own evil plots against you in Jesus name. Amen*

*PROTECTION FROM EVIL*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief."* Proverbs 12:21 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
As we journey further in this "ember" months, it is important to covet divine protection from God.
Divine protection is one of the benefits we enjoy from God. It is activated by prayer also.
Divine protection is activated also by living right before God.
May God's protection speak for us in times like this in Jesus name. Amen.
_MEDITATION:_
*Say with me: 'God keeps me and preserves me in all my ways in Jesus name. Amen'*

*TIMELESS TRUTH*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment."* Proverbs 12:19 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
The world has become a slave to lies. Truth is fast becoming like an alien in a hostile world. But in the end, this world will pass because it failed to be aligned with the truth.
"Don't tell the truth" is like an open secret code of conduct adopted by everyone who seems to get along well with the times we now live in.
In so many homes, offices, market places or even churches, or other worship places, truth is not really welcomed as much as half truths and outright lies are being celebrated.
But one thing remains sure: Those who live by the truth will survive and outlast those who succumb to the present reign of non-truths and half truths.
_MEDITATION:_
*All the vices and ills in this world are the products of deceits, non-truths and half truths. To outlast the system, realign yourself with the truth of God's word*

*THERAPEUTIC TRUTH*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health."* Proverbs 12:18 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Truth also heals. Truth can be medicinal and curative.
Truth can come like a stabbing or piecing sword or dagger. Truth can also come like a bitter pill that nevertheless cures when administered.
Handle truth with care and skill. This requires being sensitive. Don't speak truth carelessly.
You can be unapologetic and at the same time not be unconcerned about the feelings of the hearer.
Strive towards balance when handling truth. For instance, instead of saying "you behaved like a fool today" you could say, "Your actions today lacked wisdom"
Truth can be hard while also providing a soft landing to the hearer.
_MEDITATION:_
*Never sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.*

*'TRUTHFUL AT ALL COST*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit."* Proverbs 12:17 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
Being truthful is a key characteristic of righteous people.
These days, honesty is not cheap and it is not easy. The truth is becoming not only scarce but dangerous or costly. It can cost you your job if for instance, compromise has become the norm.
But God's righteous demands has not and will never change. Only those who think God is a joke will undermine the necessity of honesty in God's kingdom.
One of the reasons we must endure hardness as good soldiers of Christ is because we are not expected to hide from the truth or replace the truth with half truths even in the name of being diplomatic.
While this message maybe relatively easy to share, living by its disctates is not.
However we are either going to speak truth at all cost like Christ, or we are not truly the followers of Christ.

*'CONTROL YOUR ANGER*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame."* Proverbs 12:16 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
You can be angry but don't become overwhelmed by anger.
Treat anger like fire. You may need it but you are always aware of its danger and always safety conscious.
Never take anger like food or water that you cannot survive a day without.
Don't gloat in your anger. Don't treat anger like a beautiful woman that easily catches your attention. Rather treat anger like an eyesore you want to get rid off as quickly as possible.
Anger can bring you to disrepute and dishonor. When you lose your temper, you lose your credit rating.
Get rid of anger as quickly as possible. Correct or speak or act from a place of reason and discretion rather than anger and ill emotions.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Proverbs 12:16 (CEV) Losing your temper is foolish; ignoring an insult is smart.*

*'ALWAYS RIGHT' IS WRONG*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."* Proverbs 12:15 (KJV)
_Bible Insight_
A fool is ALWAYS right in his own eyes. He never accepts that he is wrong. He is always defending whatever he has done and always finds a way to justify his decisions and actions.
He blames others even when he is fully at fault. Never accepts that he should apologize.
A wise person accepts that they can do wrong. She knows that she is not infallible. She knows that she is not always right.
She is not too big to apologize and does not try hard to defend every step or decision taken.
She is quick to make amends, and is open to correction and suggestions as to ways to become better.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Be humble enough to accept your wrong and be simple enough to seek to learn ways to be better*
