The Blessing of Silence...sometimes its best not to say anything at all. Even telling the truth or being honorable can have the opposite effect and place you in a position you never intended to be. However, in time, truth & honor always wins out.. Though they can bring you low and humiliate you, truth and honor set you up for the higher & better life... These are the things that promote you..For God has said the promotion comes neither from the East, West or South, but it comes from the LORD.. Mercy, humility, truth & honor are taken quite seriously by our Father, Who sees all and knows all.
Consider the story of Joseph. Gen 37 - 39. To his family and brothers, he told dreams of being in authority. He was just sharing a dream, not a desire of his heart, but a dream, and that him got kicked out the tribe and sold into slavery (Whose he going to rule over now?). But God was with him and gave him favor..
Joseph was lusted for by Potiphar's wife, but stayed in honor to His God and His master. His honor was doubted and a lie was believed that cast him into prison. But God was with him and gave him favor...
Joseph now doesn't tell his dreams but interprets those of others. His talents and honor are remembered even to the head of the state: Pharoah himself needs his troubling dreams interpreted and God magnified Joseph's integrity, wisdom and administration to him. He saved an entire nation from death by famine and was promoted to #2 because Joseph stayed in the administration of the Spirit. He kept his integrity before God. He stayed truthful.
So sometimes, your being truthful may bring you into negative circumstances, but God is faithful. He is not like man. He will always remember and recognize your love for Him in being truthful and honorable. He will always promote!
