16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)
How do you feel about the things God hates? Does anything about the list surprise you? If God hates these things, do you think we (as God’s people) should also hate them? If so, how do you think we should express that hatred? What dangers should we avoid if we express hatred for the things God hates?
Each day (except Sundays) during Lent, we will post a Scripture for reflection on our theme, “Military Withdrawal.” Together, we will learn to walk in God’s ways of peacemaking and reconciliation. These posts are meant to stimulate conversation and interaction. Feel free to post your thoughts and comments.
