Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things the Lord hates, Yes seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

Have you ever lied to someone? Have you been lied to? Has someone lied about you? I would guess that most of us has had experiences with these things. Didn’t feel real good right? There is no white or black or half truths. They are all lies. Even those about people we don’t even know such as movie stars, politicians, the neighbors down the street you haven’t met yet. No matter who you or they are it doesn’t feel good and it’s against God’s will for His children.
Lord, Your Word is truth. Help us Your children to come out from among the world and be a separate people for You. Living in Your will and Your way. Yes Lord, I am seeing the road less traveled is narrow but in You all things are possible. Let us hear Your voice this is the way walk in it.
Love Your neighbor as yourself! All mankind is created in the image of God. God’s creation. In Jesus name amen
