Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us the six things God hates and number 6 is a person who stirs up dissension in the community. Have you ever said things that caused trouble or had other say things that caused trouble for you? Read Proverbs and pray for God’s wisdom in dealing with these issues.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. – Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)
According to Proverbs 6:16-19, the sixth thing the Lord hates is “a false witness who pours out lies.” That leads Nim to talk about others being “gossipy.” Do you gossip about others or tell stories that aren’t 100% true? Read Proverbs now and pray for God’s forgiveness and ask Him to help you live as he wants you to live:
Nim: I hear that Abby is a gossip.
Con: Have you ever heard her being a gossip with your own ears?
Nim: No...
Con: Then you're the gossip.
Nim: I hear that Abby is cool and smart and so good-looking!
Con: Nice try.
The sixth thing the Lord hates is "a false witness who pours out lies."
Nim (pointing to fee): No! Bad feet!!! No! Bad feet! No!!!
Con: What are you doing?
Nim: The fifth thing the Lord hates are feet that are quick to rush to evil.
Con: And?
Nim: And I'm practicing how to stop them, just in case it ever comes up.
Feet that are quick to rush to evil betray a heart that secretly dwells in dark places.
Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us that the 4th thing God hates is A heart that devises wicked schemes.” Nim looks to con to help him be sure he’s keeping it between the lines.
Nim: Define "wicked scheme."
Con: Pardon me?
Nim: You heard me, smart guy.
Con: Well...a "wicked scheme" would be an unrighteous act that is extremely offensive, both morally and spiritually.
Nim: Would acting really cute for my master just to get an extra cookie be a wicked scheme?
Con: No.
Nim: EXCELLENT!
The 4th thing Proverbs 6:16-19 tells us that God hates is "a heart that devises wicked schemes."
