24 - Day 4

Proverbs 6:16-19
16 There are six things the Lord hates— no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, 18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

If you look at the beattitudes, you will find Jesus' contrasting parallels to these six.

I like to think of the contrast to this list, what God loves:

Humility, truthful speach, preservation of life, pure thoughts, eagerness to do good things, honest witness, and peaceful harmony. I found this great list in the Expositor's Bible Commentary.

If you focus on these things, you can't go wrong!
