17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, 18 lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him.
Proverbs 24:17-18
I read this verse the other day and it really hit me. It’s so natural to be happy when an adversary “gets what they have coming to them.” God doesn’t want us to have that kind of attitude and it keeps our hearts in His peace to obey His command in Proverbs 24. I’m continually amazed by how much God covers my emotions and how He keeps developing His love in my life. His ways really can bless our lives if we’re willing to follow His lead by doing His Word.
God bless,
Mark
