1905) If you have been around children, your own or “borrowed,” you learn to read body language to discern if they are telling you the truth. If they aren’t, they often will not look you in the eye. There’s a pause in their answer (or no pause at all). They come up with a reply to your question that is far-fetched. All of these things indicate a fabrication of the truth.

We all make the choice to lie; it’s not reserved to children only, and this also happens in the spiritual world. Satan is called a liar and the Father of Lies in John 8:44. It tells us here he is a murderer from the beginning and there is no truth in him.

 God, on the other hand, is described in Hebrews 6:17, as the embodiment of all that is true. It tells us plainly that all God has promised will happen. In John 14:6, Jesus calls himself the Truth.

A question to think about this morning is, why would you put any weight on anything Satan tries to tell you when you have been told he is a liar and the Father of Lies? Wouldn’t it make more sense to trust the One who has no track record of deception? The One who promises to always keep his word.

Hasn’t he?
