There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that hurry to run to evil,
a lying witness who testifies falsely,
and one who sows discord in a family.
This season of Lent and self-examination offers us a good opportunity to look at how our perspective (eyes), words (tongue), actions (hands and feet), attitude (heart), and character (witness) measure up. When we filter our day through this Proverb, it is easy to see if we have spent our time well -- pleasing God; or if we have fallen into habits and behavior patterns that displease Him.
Food for thought during a fasting season!
