Stand therefore with truth like a belt around your waist. Ephesians 5:14
Today truth is used like post-it stamps. Liberally applied all over the place but lacking stickability when tested.
Yet, if I put on a belt I latch it so it will stay put. Truth carries similarities to a belt. It has to be latched or what it is around will fall down.
If my trousers or skirt lose the belt they fall down and expose me to ridicule.
Therefore I can say a belt is an important tool, in fact a valuable tool. So is truth. As I use it it protects me and keeps me from shame.
So I could say: 'find truth and do not sell it'. Proverbs 23:23
