Let God handle it.

Be very careful about how you react to what is happening to an enemy!



Proverbs 24:17-18

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him,

And He turn away His wrath from him.



God makes it very clear hear that we need to be humble folks. Even when it comes to someone we do not care for. God handles all situations in His own time and we have to allow Him to do that and not get in the way. When we see hard times come on an enemy we are not to rejoice over it. God tells us here if we do it displeases him and He will turn His wrath away from him. My thought that comes to mind is we may then face some difficulty because of our attitudes! So what are we suppose to do about our enemies? Look at this Word from God:



Matthew 5:44

44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,



This is the attitude Jesus wants us to have toward our enemies.
