Morning Devotion - Prov. 20

Read Proverbs 20

There are some occasions where secrecy is righteous and where revealing a matter is sin (18, 19), but this chapter has much to say about devious secrecy and the need for a true and faithful steadfast love.

1. The problem of people saying one thing but being and doing another (6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 17, 25)

2. The role of a wise king to sort out such falsehood (5, 8, 26)

3. The necessity and great blessing of true integrity in the king (7, 28)

The Point: Christ is the true King of righteousness. He knows our hearts and has loved us with an everlasting love. How can we be followers of Him if we will not truly do what He says (Matthew 7:24-27)?
