Are We Seekers of the Truth?

In Proverbs 6, David lists, under inspiration, seven things that God hates; getting to know God involves our knowing His likes and dislikes. Two of those items directly reference lies, deception, and the truth: a lying tongue and a false witness. God loves truth. He desires that we are true to ourselves, to others, and to Him (Psalm 51:6), truth that is within us, our mind and heart. God's Word is truth (John 17:17) and we should be seeking the truth daily.
