Title: Seven Things God Hates

Scriptures: Proverbs 6:16 - 19

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Do you know what God hates?  King Solomon listed 7 things God hates in today's chapter.  These are arrogant eyes, lying tongue, murderous hands, evil hearts, feet that runs down a wicked path, mouth that lies under oath, and a troublemaker.  This reminds me that all of the things that God hates as mentioned by Solomon are in us.  Well not that we have arrogant eyes, lying tongue, etc.  My point is, since we have eyes, tongue, hands, heart, feet, and mouth, so we have the potential to have all the things that God hates.  That's why it is important that we assess our eyes, tongue, hands, heart, mouth, feet...and evaluate if any of the parts of our body has been corrupted so much that we can say that we have what God hates as per Solomon's words in Chapter 6 of Proverbs. In short, we all have the potential to be bad and good.  The choice really is ours.  We ought to evaluate ourselves each day and ask, am I becoming what God hates or am I becoming pleasing to my King?

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful day.  Thank You for reminding me and for letting me know that my choices each day is important because it will mold me to be either pleasing or hateful to You.  Lord give me the wisdom to choose carefully and what is right every day that I may keep my eyes humble, my tongue truthful, my hands in service, my heart good, my feet walking the right path, my mouth never lying under oath, and becoming a blessing to my family.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for Today:

Proverbs 6:16 - 19 (The Message Version)

"Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion: eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent, a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track, a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family."

Let us choose to have humble eyes, truthful tongue, hands that serves, good heart, feet that walks the righteous path, mouth that never lies under oath and above all, choose to be a blessing in our family today.

Have a wonderful day!
