They have belied the Lord

“They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:” - Jeremiah 5v12

What does it mean to belie the Lord? We often use the phrase, “Your actions belie your words,” to mean that what we do tells a different story than what we do. In this same light it is possible to belie the Lord when we say we are His, yet live like there are no consequences to our actions.

How would we do daily if we honestly asked ourselves the question, “Have I belied the Lord today by my actions? Do my actions agree with my words? It is easy enough to talk about our Lord – a bit more challenging to back it up with actions.
