and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
Solomon tells us 7 things God detests. This includes shedding innocent blood and lying. People who devised wicked schemes and who rush into evil are there too. Pride is another, and then we come to these seemingly lesser offenses.
Well, lying about what someone else did is clearly wrong, but sometimes it makes a better story, and everyone loves some good gossip. It's hard to stop myself sometimes. I am enjoying the attention I get, and I am generally repeating truth. I beat myself up later, when I consider my intent was to stir up interest without regard to the greater good. I'm still working on this one.
Prayer: Lord, I am weak. I confess the times I added to conflict with my words. I'm sorry that I let my pride rule over Your will for my life. I'm a sinner, and I need forgiveness.
Amen
