Proverbs 6:16 Lying and Murder

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! Well, did you think about having "haughty eyes?"

Proverbs 6:17"haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,...."

We talked about haughty eyes yesterday. A lying tongue, one who speaks untruths or is deceptive in the telling of information. Hands that kill the innocent, which is obvious, premeditated murder, the planning of and disposing of someone.

Genesis 9:6"If anyone takes a human life, that person's life will also be taken by human hands......" This tells us God does not want us, humans, to murder, but if we do we will be executed.

Lying, wow! Listen to what Jesus says about lying:John 8:44 "For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Then in verse 45 Jesus went on to say: "So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don't believe me!"

Our attitudes and actions clearly identify us as followers of either: satan or God!
Who has control over you? Would you rather lie than tell the truth; would you rather hear a lie (gossip) than hear the truth: are you allowing satan the opportunity to use you to obstruct God's work???

Who is your father?

In Christ's Love and Grace
