Never betray a confidence

â€˜A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.' Proverbs 11:13 NIV

Betrayal is worse than gossip. A gossip may not necessarily harbour ill-will towards his or her victim; but a betrayer knowingly divulges information in a breach of confidence. They commit â€˜relational treason' by violating the trust someone has placed in them. Judas was in a position to betray Jesus with very little effort because he was familiar with His comings and goings.

The Bible says, Strive to become a trustworthy person others can depend on to guard their secrets. And if you're blessed to have a trustworthy friend yourself, thank God for them!

SoulFood: Acts 12-13, Luke 7:36-50, Ps 123, Pr 16:1
