Did you ever confront someone about a reoccurring problem only to be told, "I'm working on it"? Then in a week, a month, a year, etc. etc., the same thing continues. I am beginning to ask myself if the phrase, "I'm working on it",is a license to just keep on doing what they've been doing with no intent of changing? If that be the case then, "I'm working on it", is really a lie; and maybe an excuse to stay where they are.

These are just a few scriptures concerning lying. It is better not to say anything than to tell a lie. If you are dealing with a problem today and you know you cannot break that habit, or control that anger, or quit that way of life then call upon the Lord. He is strength in our times of troubles. (Psalm 46:1) Ask someone who has victory over the very issue you are having trouble with and chances are fairly high they will have some good advice. Good decisions are made with much wise counsel. (Proverbs 15:22)
