Did you know there are 6 things the Lord hates and seven He despises? Would you be shocked to know that the 7th is when someone creates dissension amongst his people? Division. Divide and conquer. The secular term for it? Trouble maker. Jesus hates the dissension the trouble maker causes. He does not despise the person but their actions. So it is the act of man, not man that saddens the Lord. But who ever knew how serious it was. This action than causes discord amongst family members, churches, friends, co-workers, the list goes on and on. It is because of their intent behind it. The deliberate act of someone who is very aware of what they are saying and what the outcome will be. How do we overcome this? Especially when it is against you? Be the peacemaker. Stay in peace, create peace, keep peace and make peace. Matthew 5:9 says, "blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. " God wants you to know that if you are the subject of some one's lies or deception today, pray for them, forgive them and keep peace in your heart. If someone is deliberately causing trouble for you today without any merit, stay in prayer and know the Lord will deal with them. No weapon formed against you will prosper, He will fight this for you so.....keep the faith and hold the peace! Have a blessed Monday!
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things the Lord hates, Seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood; 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
