Proverbs chapter 6, verses 16 through 19.

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 make haste to run to evil,

a false witness who breathes out lies,

and one who sows discord among brothers.

Whenever we see a list like this, I think it's really good to pause and just pray through

the list and ask God to help us to see these things for what they are, to hate them.

That's the language here.

They're an abomination to him.

He hates these things.

So to hate these things like he hates them and to run from them in our lives,

that God would purify us and sanctify us so that none of these things

characterize our hearts and our minds and our actions. So let's just pray through the list. God,

we pray right now that you would keep us from haughty eyes. God, please keep us from pride, from looking out for ourselves.

We pray for humility. Please, oh God, give us humble eyes, not haughty eyes. We pray for a humble eyes today. Keep us, we pray from a lying tongue.

Lord, help us to speak truth always, always. God, we pray that when we're pressed into a moment

and we're tempted for self-preservation or any,

any motive to lie, God, we pray, you'd help us to speak truth.

God, we pray that our words would be trustworthy, honoring to you and honoring to others.
