A Proud Look

This might have been the expression on Michal's face when she saw her husband, the king dancing before the Lord.*

The Bible has something to say about this kind of expression. It is one of the things the Lord hates. He hates it because it demonstrates pride. Michal despised her husband.*

I can almost hear my mother say, "You'd better be careful. Your face is liable to freeze that way!"

There are three things that the Lord requires of us; to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God! 

'Nuff said!

*II Samuel 6:16

Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

 

*Vs. 20

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

 

 

*Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things the LORD hates,  Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies,  And one who sows discord among brethren.

 

*Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good;  And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
