‘’Proud Look’’ - A proud look is a person
that has a ‘’ better than you attitude’’ ‘’ I am so important I have no time
for you or anyone else’’, ‘’Feel special with my presence’’. We can really see
this by the expression on people faces. Honestly, we all have seen little
children mimic their parents or even some famous Rock Star like Michael Jackson
or some other famous person(s)… We all have been in deep thoughts before and
others may think we are snubbing them, when this isn’t the case and it’s the
farthest thing from your mind. But, we all know what a proud look is.. In the
book of Luke 11:34 ‘’The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye
is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil,
thy body also is full of darkness.’’ Our eyes transmit from my heart.. From the
heart come generosity, love, compassion, good and evil.. We have recognized and avoid a proud look-
God hate it!
‘’ Lying Tongue’’
A lying tongue is when
someone lies and it’s become a part of their lives… They lie to take care of
the lies they told and so forth. A habitual liar lies so much they want
everyone to believe them and sometimes people can and will get caught up and
believe someone that lies. Always tell
the truth, it may hurt you one time but you don’t have to worry about it
anymore… People always have this saying
‘’ they were caught in the act’’ When we hear someone even in the church do
this, just remember how much easier it is too simply to tell the truth under
any circumstances. In Proverbs 12:19 it
shows us this: The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying
tongue is but for a moment. Remember there are no benefits in telling lies, it
may fool people a little while, but, the truth will always come through…
“Hands that shed innocent blood”
This involves attacking an
innocent person walking by in order to prove and satisfy themselves. Such a
bullies in schools, that act and take advantage over innocence people. This
occurs on the schools grounds and even work places… suicide bombers are a type
of this: They expect to kill all in sight and plan is killing them in the
process. God hates this kind of actions and mindset.. In Proverbs 1:11 a false
balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
“A heart that devises wicked imaginations”
This is like a mob mentality,
which leads people to do mean and wicked things. We seen this sometimes on the
news where someone will kill at Wal-Mart on Black Friday, because he was at the
door first in line, and some many people walked on him and killed him for a
sale, we see this lot in football and Nascar fans go wild. Other fans make
threats and do stupid things in the process. In
Exodus 23:2 is reads, Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil;
neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Truthfully this is how the world celebrates.. Sadly, but it’s the truth.
“A false
witness that speaks lies”
This consists of someone who is acting a
witness and twists the whole truth… this is like a lying tongue who perverts
the truth and twists it also. In Proverbs 19:5 A false witness shall not be
unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. This action is closely
related to someone who destroys the truth.
“He that sows discord among brethren”
This is the nature of Satan-
Sowing discord among brethren involves people gossiping, putting people down
and telling lies to make the person not have any confidence in them anymore….
It will split friendships, marriages, and even churches. In Proverbs 19:9, A
false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall
perish. Spreading rumors is one of the
numerous ways that the hands of someone that sows discord..
We have to indentify, resist
and learn to hate such things just as God hates.. Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Isaiah 53:1
Our words can be a motivator, whether we realize it or not, whether you mean to or not. Our words can bring life, or it can cause someone to take their own life. While we all still alive, let’s make our days count for something!- Lynne Conley My life consists of working full-time at a pharmaceutical company and teaching Sunday school (Kindergarten class) My desire is to encourage others. My writings aren’t fancy words, but they are from the Lord. So many people are hurting, and I want to help all I can while I am still alive. My passion is elderly people and those who are shut-ins. There is a nursing home, Carrington Place, in the next county from where I live. After working 8-10 hrs a day, I go and spend time with those who have no one or just to talk and hear their stories every Thursday after work. Every Thursday is Thankful Thursday to me. Because I am so Thankful for this great calling the Lord has given me.
