II. Selections
Psalm 5:9
For there is no truth in their mouths;
their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
they flatter with their tongues.
Hosea 7:2
But they do not consider
that I remember all their wickedness.
Now their deeds surround them,
they are before my face.
Acts 23:1
While Paul was looking intently at the council he said, "Brothers, up to this day I have lived my life with a clear conscience before God."
Luke 6:39
[ Jesus] also told [ his disciples] a parable: "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? ... "
III. Meditation: The pit of untruth and flattery
Ever-present God, our deeds surround us and are ever before your face. You have given us Jesus to be our guide. Grant that we may follow him-only he can show us the way. Without him we will fall into the pit of untruth and flattery. Only with him as our guide can we hope to live our life with a clear conscience before you. We ask this in your name.
