"I hate every false way"

Twice in Psalm 119 is the expression “I hate every false way” (vss. 104, 128). Although the word refers to something that is deceptive, anything that is against God is a “false way.”


A faithful Christian is dedicated to turning away from the false way. Romans 12:19 says, “Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” Positively speaking, the Hebrew writer said, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”


Turning from evil or falsehood requires discipline or self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23). If you are sinning, you have to get a hold of yourself and repent. John admonished, “Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God” (3 John 1:11).


Simply put, people who want to see God hate every false way, while people who are rebellious will die in their iniquity. Two paths are before you. Which one will you choose?
