God's Word Convicting Us

God's Word is so good about calling us out when we are not being true to God. This verse tells us we are to renounce, get rid of, secret and shameful ways. Who had a thought about someone yesterday that you don't want made public? Who has secretly plotted out how someone would get what you think they deserve, revenge thinking? God tells us we are to renounce, refuse to think about, those thoughts. We aren't to use crafty or deceitful ways to get back at others and if we can't say out loud what we are thinking, we shouldn't be thinking it. Today ask God to help us renounce the thoughts and words that are harmful to others and work on speaking only truth, the truth of Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:2 NIV
2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
