Good morning, friends! So sorry for the absence, as we continue to experience WIFI issues.
I've been reading through Proverbs monthly this year, and today I noticed these verses in a new light.
🔴 Haughty eyes: this phrase relates to pride and arrogance. As we read through the account in the gospels of Jesus's last week, we see the pride and arrogance of the religious leaders in their relentless pursuit of condemning Jesus.
🔴 Lying: how many of those around Jesus lied about Him?
🔴 Hands that shed innocent blood: Jesus was falsely convicted. He was sinless; His innocent blood was shed.
🔴 Hearts that devise wicked plans: the religious and political leaders plotted together against Jesus.
🔴 Feet that make haste to do evil: all the people involved wanted it done quickly.
🔴 False witnesses: people were brought to Jesus's trial who were paid to lie about Him.
🔴 Sowing discord among the brothers: the disciples certainly were arguing among themselves, as I'm sure others were also spreading rumors and lies.
I thought it was profound that these seven things that the Lord hates were all in play at the time of Jesus's passion.
I hope that you are having a blessed Lenten season.
Till next time,
Barbara 🌻
