"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight." Proverbs 12:22 NKJV
Rosalie Elliot made it to the fourth round of a national spelling contest in Washington, DC. The eleven-year-old from South Carolina was asked to spell the word avowal. In her soft southern accent, she spelled the word, but the judges were unable to determine is she had used an a or an e as next-to-last letter. They debated among themselves for several minutes as they listened to the recording, but it was too accent-blurred to decipher. Finally, the chief judge put the question to the only person who knew the answer. "Was the letter an a, or was it an e?" he asked Rosalie. Bu this time, being surrounded by whispering young spellers, Rosalie knew the correct spelling of the word. Still, without hesitation, she replied that she had misspelled the word, and she walked from the stage. The entire audience stood and applauded, including some fifty newspaper reporters. The moment was a proud one for her parents. Even in defeat, she was a victor. Indeed, more has been written about Rosalie Elliot over the years than about the "unknown" winner of the event. As a redeemed child of God, your Heavenly Father requires honesty in word and deed. "The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment" (Pr 12:19 NKJV). "Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds" (Col 3:9 NKJV). "Therefore, put away lying, 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,' for we are members of on another" (Eph 4:25 NKJV).
