Proverbs 16:18,19
18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 19Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the meek and poor than to divide the spoil with the proud
Ok, many of us may know these scriptures but I ask myself again while I walk this walk of salvation out with fear and trembling, do we REALLY know what it means? Better yet, or maybe I should say, even more challenging, do we live this way?
one further step, read these challenging scriptures…………..
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination [a]to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who [b]spreads strife among brothers
What do these scriptures mean? Does God hate some people? I say NO! God loves people. He loves all people. His love endures forever and He will never leave or forsake. I challenge us. God does hate some behavior. He loves the sinner and hates the sin and as I challenge myself and walk this road, I extend the challenge to you. I say it is time to get serious about serving God and following His Word. Following His Word starts by getting to know His Word. Let’s dig a little deeper in these scriptures. We will look at them, one by one. Praise the Mighty Lord for His Word which does great things inside of us and feeds us truth!!!!
