“Then Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God: If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.” – GENESIS 42:18,19

Devotion

Honesty is the mark of holiness. Lies are an abomination to the Lord (Prov 12:22). Dishonest people set up snares for themselves in exchange for quick gains. When they see trouble approaching, they try to postpone it without realising that their troubles will only compound. When the trouble is full bloom, they will start drowning in their sea of lies
(Prov 21:6). Therefore, stay clean and honest if you want to save yourselves from being caught in such a situation
(Prov 12:19).
