Is Lying Worth It?

We have all done it at one time or another. Whether it be what we consider a white lie or some elaborate story that is completely made up. It is something that can trip us up so easily. It happens when we are trying to impress others, hide something, or live a life that's not our own. But is it really worth it?

The Bible is clear about it's thoughts on lying, but what are your thoughts? We know it only leads to continued lying yet we do it anyway. What is its appeal? What do we have to gain? We should always be aiming to be more like God and the bible tells us that "He is not a man He should lie..." (Numbers 23:19, KJV) So why can't we be more like Him in this area?

I think that it is our desire to belong to something in one way or another and to live a life that in some way seems better than our own. We must understand that life is about choices and we can choose how we will live life day to day. If we return our focus to what matters, Living Equivalent to Destiny, which is the divine destiny set before us. Whatever your talents are or the things that bring you joy are turn to those things and God will lead you to a place where lying will no longer by necessary. You will begin to truly enjoy your life and the person you are in the present and not have to look to those things that are not. When you look back over your life, lying is really not worth it all.
