It Is Impossible for God to Lie

[S] Hebrews 6:18 --
 18so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

[O] In this society we live in now it seems it's a rarity to find honesty, especially when you read newspapers.  If it's not one person's dishonesty being exposed it's about how not to fall for deceptions such as your Internet identity.  God, on the other hand, cannot lie and so His standards are totally against what I'm used to seeing around me.  Even though God said nothing is impossible with God, there is one thing that is impossible with God -- to lie.  What He sayd will always come to fruition as He says and that's the power of God I need to tap into in order to go against the grains of this world.

[A] My standard of excellence is lowered when I put too much focus on all that's in the news.  I need to wear the clothes of God's honesty and truth in all I do in parenting, marriage, workplace, and with friends.

[P] Dear Father, while I know that being honest to myself is the beginning of being honest to everyone else I also know that this is not that easy because I have so many blind spots.  Please continue to work in my life so my blind spots will be revealed by others around me.  It may be painful to acknowledge these but help me to set my mind straight at all times through humility and willingness to correct my heart.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
