I had verses 16-19 already highlighted and noted in my Bible. I love that!
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.
This passage serves as a great reminder that there is a place for righteous anger. As we seek in our daily lives to have a heart that is increasingly like God's heart we should also grow to hate the things he hates. The kicker is that I would be willing to bet that we can see more than one of these present in our own heart within the past 30 days. I know I can, and that helps to establish an understanding of the holiness of God and our inability to live up to his standard without help!
