Check Your Heart

I was reading Proverbs 6:16-19 last night and it made me stop and realize how often I do one of these things. As far as I know I have never killed anyone, but this verse clearly shows that a lying tongue is just as detestable to the Lord as a murder. How often do I realize that my heart leads right to sin that I thought I had conquered. I am not even going to talk about the times I have talked about someone behind their back to change someone else's opinion about them. Are these life patterns? I pray they aren't but I can't help but feel that I have a lot of sin in my life that I don't always take serious. It is not something to scoff at, the Bible clearly says God hates theses actions. What is the point of this post? Well I hope it makes you look at your heart's actions as it has done for me. There is a lot I could work on in my life, but why not start with 7 things that our Lord hates.

"There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers."
