“Helping or Hindering?”

Proverbs 6 gives us a non-exhaustive list of a few things God despises—haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a wicked heart, evil feet, and a false witness. The list makes clear that God cares about what we do with our bodies, with our minds, with our words, and with our relationships. There’s not a single part of our lives that God doesn’t care about! Why is that? Because God created every part of you for a purpose. You were created to know God and draw closer to him. In doing so, you can live the kind of life for others to know God and become more like him. What you do and what you don’t do impacts what God’s up to—so do everything you can to facilitate whatever God is up to in you.
