People's wicked ways will be exposed. Their greed, their jealousy, their envy, their cheating ways....all are seen by God and known to Him. He knows our hearts, He surely knows our thoughts. It is extremely imperative that we not only guard our mouths, but we must guard our minds. It is not okay to gloat on someone else's failure. It doesn't matter what the person may have done to you. That is a hard challenge for all of us. I think it is natural and very normal to be gleeful when you know the very weapon thrown at you never prospered and in fact made a boomerang motion back to the person who aimed it for you. My family always prays that no weapon formed against us prosper. We don't add anything other to it. We simply ask for protection over us and our home. The Lord says vengeance is His and we are to know that the battle is His. Never try to retaliate against an enemy or someone who may have wronged you. Turn the other cheek and way and hand the matter/person to God. It is the only way. Your testimony for God will remain intact and in fact people will notice the grace bestowed upon you and it will speak volumes. Just let go of things that have hurt you. Forgive those that have hurt you. Give it to God and allow Him to repair, restore and renew. He can and He will.
Proverbs 14:14
