Wisdom and Hatred

7/20/2015

0 Comments

 
"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.  To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.  Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power." -Proverbs 8:12-14 (NIV)
There are words that are frowned on and some have been taught not to say.  One of the words added to the list of words that shouldn't be used is hate.  Sometimes it seems as if the world is teaching a tolerance that not only eliminates hatred from our vocabulary but judges those that hate anything.

As Christians, we should live loving lives.  We should do our best to reflect God's loving nature in our words and actions, but living in love should not eliminate hate.  We should hate evil.  In order to hate evil, we need to know that there is evil and what is evil.  When we get wisdom and prudence from God, we can know what is good and what is evil.  Knowing is half the battle, we then need to rely on God to help us live life using the wisdom and prudence He provides!

It is okay to hate evil!  Ask God for wisdom and prudence to know right from wrong.

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for Your power and Your goodness.  Please give me the wisdom and prudence to know right from wrong and help me to live my life accordingly.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
