Acts 5:1-4
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whilst it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Acts 5 reminds us that dishonesty isn’t just about breaking trust with people — it’s standing before God Himself. Even small compromises in truth matter to Him.
⚡Challenge:
Take a moment to examine your heart and actions. Is there anywhere you’ve been tempted to withhold the truth, bend the facts, or mislead, even in small ways? Commit to honesty in all things today — not just before others, but before God.
🌺 Gratitude Moment:
Thank the Lord for His patience and mercy, and for guiding you to walk in integrity. Even when you falter, His grace reminds us to return to truth.
🌿 Reflection: God sees what we hide. Choose integrity, and let your life reflect His holiness.
