When we have a deep and reverential respect for our holy God, we
are going to love what he loves and hate what he hates. We need to
realize, however, that the word "hate" is used very carefully in
Scripture. This strong verb is not used often, and when it is used
with God as the subject, the object of God's hatred needs to be
noticed. God hates evil, which in this case is defined as pride,
arrogance, evil behavior, and vile speech. These are things that
Christians not only avoid, but they also loathe. God wants his
people to be people of character -- people of humility, moral
behavior, and helpful speech.

PRAYER:
   O holy and righteous Father, forgive me of my pride and
self-interest. Forgive me for my arrogance and deceptive tongue.
Remake me by your Spirit to be holy in word and deed, compassionate
toward those in need, and freed from evil. To you, O LORD, be the
glory in my life and in your Church, forever and ever. In Jesus'
name. Amen.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the reminder.  Sometimes, we can allow ourselves to fall in any of these categories in a split second.  Once done, it is done.  We must be on our toes at all times no matter what we are doing.  I appreciate the prayer and you my brother.  Again, He has blessed me today.

Hi Thomas,

Very nice post Thomas. Things can change in the blink of a eye.
Stay focused on Christ where we all need to stay & not the ways of the world or inner self.

Colossians 1:19-20    O Father, I am sorry that it took such a great sacrifice to
atone for my sin. I am thankful that you loved so much that you
would pay the price for that sacrifice. I praise you for bridging
the distance that I could not cover that my sin created between you
and me. May you be as pleased with me today and see my life as a
praise for your costly grace. In Jesus' name I thank you. Amen. Thanks Kathy K. your awesome. Keep in touch!!
