Proverbs 14:5
How often do we let fear lead us away from the truth? When Isaac tells the king of Gerar that Rebekah is his sister, he repeats a mistake from his family’s past, choosing deception over trust in God’s protection. Fear can make us act against our values, but this story reminds us that honesty is always the better path. God’s protection remained over Isaac, despite his moment of weakness. Proverbs 14:5 reminds us that honesty aligns us with God’s character, building trust with those around us. Isaac’s story invites us to courageously face our fears, trusting that God is with us and will honor our commitment to truth. Each time we choose honesty over fear, we grow in our faith, reflecting God’s light in a world that needs it.
