Don't Gloat

We like to see people get what's coming to them. If we get fired we want the company to struggle because of our departure. If we get cut off in traffic, we sometimes hope that the person who did it gets a ticket for (or worse!). We always face the strong temptation to rejoice when our enemies fall into trouble. But when we react this way, we miss a golden opportunity to demonstrate the reality of God's mercy in our lives. How many times would God have been justified to let you fall under the weight of your own sin? Think about that the next time you are tempted to hope for the worst for those who cross you. Show them the same love God has shown you

NLT

Proverbs 24:17-18 (New Living Translation)

17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
18 For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
