Prov. 24:17 “Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth,”-
A heart that is not perfect with God will be more incline to rejoice when someone they dislike comes into bad times. “They are getting what they deserve” is often said among those who find pleasure in seeing others fall or fail. We all want justice to be given when others are being hateful and committing evil deeds. But, we don’t rejoice in the justice, for vengeance is God’s and He alone is only able to administer holy justice for He knows the heart and spirit of every man. It takes a heart that is perfect before God to be able to love someone who despitefully uses you, or mistreats you. It does not mean you don’t have feelings of mistrust or can soon forget the hurt that you felt. But, the love of God helps us not to rejoice in evil, but rejoice in that God is in control and He will do what is right and holy.
