Today's Daily Lesson comes from Proverbs chapter 6 verses 16 through 19:
16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that hurry to run to evil,
19 a lying witness who testifies falsely,
and one who sows discord in a family.
The clinking of the metal from marchers in the east can be heard now in the west. Three days ago the thunder of the tanks was not only heard but also felt.
"There will be wars and rumors of wars."
And there will be; and there is.
We pray for the innocent. We fear for the nation. We weep for its peoples.
"Woe to pregnant women and nursing babies in those days."
What kind of sickness sows such discord in families and in nations? What kind of smallness can only conquer in order to feel safe or significant?
God weeps. God weeps for victims. God weeps even for victimizers.
But in the end, God will not be mocked. And the schemes which are called "genius" will be called by their true name which is Evil.
