What God hates…

There are six things the Lord hates-no, seven things he detests:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord among brothers.
This comes from Proverbs 6:16-19.  Just wanted to share.
Be wise.

A Proverb a Day: Proverbs 6:12-15 You good for nothin’…

I was reading my son’s bible in my daily walk through proverbs today, and I loved how his version just says it like it is.  Proverbs 6:12-14 says, “A good-for-nothing scoundrel is a person who has a dishonest mouth.  He winks his eye, makes a signal with his foot, and points with his fingers.  He devises evil all the time with a twisted mind.  He spreads conflict.”

Now reading this gives me a clear picture of the kind of person I want to stay far away from, and it also reminds me of the kind of person I never want to become.  I wouldn’t want to reap the rewards of this low down dirty scoundrel:

Verse 15 says this is what will happen to that person:“…disaster will come on him suddenly.  In a moment he will be crushed beyond recovery.”‘

It all starts with a dishonest mouth.  Just tell the truth ya’ll.

Be wise.
