8-2-2022 Devotion: Be Wise

 Proverbs 17: 15: "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth just, even they both are abomination to the LORD." The LORD hates it when the guilty are acquitted and the innocent are condemned. This is a warning to those that have to make decisions about conflict resolution. This is not just for judges and lawyers, but for everyone, business people, teachers, friends, anyone that is making a decision between two or more people that have a conflict.We are required to do the right thing even if there are consequences for our actions. We want to be honest in all our dealings, even if it "puts us in hot water." Anytime in Scripture we read that an action is an abomination to the LORD, we need to underline it and pay special attention. We never want to do anything before our LORD that He would consider an abomination. We want to live better than that. Be wise in your decision making.
