You shall not bear false witness against your
neighbor. Exodus 20:16
How often do we think about God’s commandment to not bear
false witness against a neighbor? What
does it even mean to do so? Perhaps it
would be helpful to put this in the affirmative: Tell the truth. Live with integrity even if it costs you
something. We will inevitably violate
this part of God’s law as we do most others, nonetheless we are to aspire to
tell the truth. Write down your
reflections.
Prayer:
God of Truth, we often make excuses for our behavior,
thinking that our violations of your law are small and even justified. As we prepare to welcome the Word incarnate,
the true light coming into the world, help us to live with integrity, love our
neighbors and bear honest witness to your goodness in all we say and do. Amen
