“Truth lasts; lies are here today, gone tomorrow” Proverbs 12:19
The latest fad in retailing seems to be the “Popup Store”. These shops are small, temporary and plentiful. They pop up in popular locations one day then disappear soon after. They sell highly desirable & popular items that interest & engage the customer. Having sold their product they disappear never to be seen again.
Today’s verse lets us know that lies are just like Popup Stores. There are many of them. They appear in popular places. They offer desirable words that engage & interest the listener. But, just like popup stores, lies will disappear after a short time. No one will remember who actually said them or what they were actually about.
On the other hand department stores are like truth. They are establishments that have stood the test of time & aren’t going to disappear quickly. Macy’s, Sears or David Jones has each been trading for almost 2 centuries. They are like truth. They’ve outlasted all their fleeting competitors remaining strong over the longest time. Truth will always outlive any lie so never buy into a lie – stand with the truth.
This week lets make a decision to pursue truth at all cost. Let’s not allow ourselves to enter the popup store of lies. Let’s not buy into its desirable words & popular items [2 Timothy 4:3]. Instead lets stand tall for the truth that will outlast every lie spoken [Ephesians 6:14]. Not only does this cause our lives to flourish, it also causes us to walk in freedom like never before [John 8:32].
