Proverbs 12 says, "The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in
people who are trustworthy."
Just a couple of days ago we talked about how the
Lord is trustworthy of all that we entrust to him, including our failures and
fears.
This verse talks of how we can be trustworthy of
handling the truth the Lord shares with us – and how when we are – it delights
Him.
Lying lips – He does not like. Trustworthy hearts – He loves.
Do you know that the Lord entrusts things to
those who love Him? He entrusts us with
the gifts He gives us, the talents, His word, His love for others, and so much
more. And when we acknowledge that his
gifts, his talents, his word, his love,
etc. are all embedded in the truth of who He is, and we use these things to
bring Him glory – we are trustworthy.
Want to bring delight to your Father? Take what He’s given to you and use it for
Him.
