03-03-2024 Sirach 20 V2627 Remaining in shame forevermore
The Book of Sirach Ch 20 v- 26 thru 27
26 A liar’s way leads to dishonor, and his shame remains ever with him. 27 The wise gain promotion with few words, the prudent please the great.
The liar’s way leads to dishonor because when someone lies, they are deceiving others and betraying their trust. This deception eventually catches up with them, leading to shame and guilt as they are exposed for their dishonesty. The shame remains with them because they are constantly living with the knowledge that they have acted in a deceitful and dishonorable manner. Ultimately, lying erodes one’s reputation and integrity, leading to dishonor and a lack of trust from others while the wise gain notoriety.
The wise gain promotion with few words because they possess the ability to convey their thoughts and ideas concisely and effectively. They are able to communicate their message clearly and directly, without the need for unnecessary elaboration or explanation. Similarly, the prudent who please the great also gain promotion because they understand the importance of building strong relationships and maintaining positive interactions with those in positions of power and influence. They are able to navigate social dynamics and make strategic decisions that are beneficial to both themselves and those they seek to impress.
Overall, the wise and prudent are able to advance in their careers and secure promotions because they possess a combination of intelligence, communication skills, and social acumen that allows them to excel in their professional endeavors. But a liar will always be a liar until they turn to God and repent and find Truth as their only endeavor to live in Salvation as one Redeemed. God asks us then to share this amazing journey of Truth where Life Eternal is preached and lived as Heaven on earth. Here’s a Haiku about the Wise and the Liar they are never one in the same. Amen.
Wise and the Liar
Wisdom guides the way
Success blooms in honest hearts
Shame haunts the liars
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.
At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Remaining in shame forevermore**
Dishonor is the way of the liar
Remaining in shame forevermore
Words few shared gain the wise to conspire
The great are pleased by the prudence instore
