Proverbs 15:9 (AMP) The way of the wicked is an abomination, extremely disgusting and shamefully vile to the Lord, but He loves him who pursues righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).
God seeks leaders who have learned to integrate the sacred and the secular to impact the world for Him.
The supposed division between the two got its start with Greek thinkers and through the centuries has become the dominant worldview. Unfortunately, many believers have succumbed, living a Sunday life only Sunday; but that “way” – the way that denies God his rightful position in all of his creation – really does upset God.
Maybe this translation hits home better: (15:9 - MSG) A life frittered away disgusts God; he loves those who run straight for the finish line.
Are you frittering your life away or do you have a Godly purpose in all your pursuits?
