Proverbs 11:20-21

17 July 2013

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

There is a very strong attitude that must be understood here. The Lord is not just displeased with the actions of the wicked. Their motivation, a proud heart, is the most disgusting thing to Him. 

Those that walk righteously are a delight to The Lord. They are the salt of the earth. They are what God enjoys about His creation.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

There is no alliance among the wicked or deal they can make that will save the wicked from the judgment of God.

By contrast, the children of God will delivered from the wrath to come by His grace.
