So many hear the words at churches all over the world God is Love and no truer words were spoken, but they seldom hear the message God also hates some things as well. In fact Proverbs actually lists seven things God hates. (Proverbs 6:16-19) These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

How many of us have had a neighbor or anyone for that matter who was so set on destruction to try their best and set you up, because it was fun for them and as a sport? They are so confident in thinking their evil deeds will follow through that they even invite others to be a part with them. The book of proverbs lets us know it’s not a good idea to go after innocent blood or take part with those who do. (Proverbs 1:11-18) If they say, come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit. We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay in wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. It truly is as a game to the wicked, but little do they know the cards are stacked against them.

Evil hates good, darkness hates light, ignorance hates wisdom and on and on it goes, But the Shepherd of our soul will see to it that if any innocent blood is fought against. He will cut off the wicked that is preying upon them! (Psalm 94:21-23) They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.

Oh dear people of the Lord never tire of doing that which is good no matter how unpopular it seems……We are just passing through this temporary place and our eternal home awaits us where there will be no more the wicked or evil like what abides here on earth! (1 Corinthians 15:58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
