Devotion Proverbs 24:17-18 When Opponents Stumble

Proverbs 24:17-18 – Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, 18 or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.

Matthew 5:43-48 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Be kind to each other.  Be loving to each other.  Care about each other.  This is what the children of God do.  If we live in His Spirit we can do it.  It should brand who we are.

Praise God for His love and goodness.  That covers everything.  We can’t be God, but we can grow to be more and more like God.  Be grateful to God. Be kind, loving and caring to each other.  And when we do we begin to look like our Father.  Praise God always!

John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Micah 6:8 – He has shown you, Oh 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.

Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
