Bible Commentary

Proverbs 10:10

Deceptive communication — secret signals, dishonest gestures — causes harm. Sorrow is the fruit of deceptive relationships.

Memory phrase: Be honest in every signal you send.

Talk about it: Have you ever felt hurt because someone was not being fully honest — even if they did not lie in words? What happened?

Prayer: God, help me be honest in everything I say AND in everything I signal — no hidden tricks or deceptions.
