Truthful lips endure forever… —Proverbs 12:19
Regardless of whether it’s accepted in the short-term, eventually truth comes to light. And when it comes to light, we recognize those who where siding with it all along.
Throughout history, we can look back on people who stood for what was right and spoke the truth, even if it wasn’t popular at the time. And although things may not have gone well for them then, with time, they have been vindicated in the cause they fought for.
So if this is the case, it’s in our interest to also seek and speak the truth. Not because it will make our lives easier now—many times it doesn’t—but because siding with truth is something that endures.
