Proverbs 6:12-19

Dear Brethren,

Good Monday Morning!

In your life, you will find many hazzards which you must avoid in order to remain safe. An improperly inflated care tire could present a driving hazzard. A natural gas leak in your home would definitely be a hazzard to your health. Whatever the hazzard may be, you must either fix the hazzard or avoid the hazzard.

Within our lives as Christians, we will likewise face many hazzardous situations and hazzardous people. Thankfully, the Bible warns us of such hazzards. Consider, for instance, the writings of Solomon in Proverbs 6:12-19. In this passage Solomon warned the reader about a "worthless person, a wicked man" who walks with a perverse mouth. This type of person will attempt to deceive you by shifting the blame and focus upon others. This worthless person will plan wicked deeds and actions. He tries to turn one person against another.

We must not allow ourselves to fall victims to such worthless people. Let us consider carefully those with whom we have association. Let us also consider ourselves so as not to become that worthless person. Let us remove from our lives those seven things which are an abomination to the Lord.

Presented for your consideration is Proverbs 6:12-19.

Proverbs 6:12-19

12 A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth;

13 He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;

14 Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.

15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.

16 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,

19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

In Love,

John Duvall
