"Truth wears well. Time tests it, but I endures. If, then, I have spoken the truth, and have for the present to suffer for it, I must be content to wait. If I believe the truth of God and declare it, I may meet with much opposition, but I need not fear, for ultimately the truth must prevail.
The triumph of falsehood is temporary. "A lying tongue is but for a moment" (v. 19). On the other hand, how worthy of an immortal being is the defense of that truth which can never change; the everlasting gospel, which is established in the immutable truth of an unchanging God! He who speaks the truth of God will put to shame all the devils in hell.
Truth Established
The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
~ Proverb 12:19

Ensure you're on the side of truth in all things, both in small things and great; but especially on the side of Him by whom grace and truth have come among men!"
