"To honour the LORD is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words."

(Proverbs 8.13 GNB)

Honouring the LORD is expressed both in what I do AND what I do not do. It is not an "or"!

I need to remove evil, pride, arrogance, evil ways, and false words from myself. Daily, this is a constant tug of war within me. My selfish flesh versus my spirit.

"What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature. For what our human nature wants is opposed to what the Spirit wants, and what the Spirit wants is opposed to what our human nature wants."

(Galatians 5.16-17 GNB)
