Think about it, if you were in a classroom and you were asked to write down and exhaustive list of all the things that you hate could you do it? I don't know where to start myself.
I can tell you that I strongly dislike the following:
COrn, meatloaf, ocra, the dallas cowboys, the Jaguars and Kyle Bush. I can give you a great reason for each and every one of those. I also strongly dislike abortion, alcohol, drugs and abusive people. I do hate losing, and I hate seeing people celebrate uncontrollably when they do win. Act like you have done it before is my motto(even if you haven't)
When compiling this list I come to the conclusion that I don't have too much that I hate. I don't have too many things that I truly hate with all the passion that I have.
The second list is probably the strongest hates that I have. But I ask you , what does GOd hate? What is it that God hates more than anything? I know it's sin but whihc one, which commandment is the worst to break?
The word hate is used in a godlike situation once in Proverbs. 8:13 To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Go hats pride and arrogance which in reality lead to evil behavior and perverse speech. Think about it, every time you sin you are pridefully taking the place of GOd in your life. You are making a decision of what is best for your life at that moment without taking into consideration what God has planned for your life. God designed you to live one way, and you are choosing another.
God hates the proud but uplifts the humble is another example of a verse that speaks to the hatred that GOd has for pride.
So look in the mirror, list all the things that you see in your life as flaws, and thank God for His grace and mercy on your life in those flaws. Then you will see life as GOd sees it, and find yourself not deserving anything at all but receiving oh so much!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
