Chris.
The writer of the part of Proverbs we see in
today’s QT prayed very specifically to be free from fraud and lies. Today, we
read in the news and hear about fraud and lies so frequently, even in God’s
Holy Church. This is something every True Believer should be praying about,
firstly for themselves and secondly for all of God’s Churches large or small,
mega or minor.
