Reading: Ephesians 4:25; Proverbs 12:19, 22

Devotional: Truth is the bedrock of Christian community. When Paul commands believers to put away lying, he reminds us that we are "members one of another." Falsehood fractures fellowship; truth fortifies it. Every exaggeration, half-truth, or deception—no matter how small—erodes the trust that binds God's people together. God's nature is truth, and those who bear His image must reflect that character. Today, examine your speech. Are there areas where you've been careless with truth? Have you stretched facts, left false impressions, or withheld honesty to protect yourself? Confession begins restoration.

Ask God to make you a person whose word can be trusted completely, reflecting the One who is Truth incarnate.
