How are your heart and tongue?

• Pro 17:20 -> “ He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief.”.

I know that, before the circumstances, our lean is to nurture feud and fiendlike feelings and thoughts against the unrighteous people. Nonetheless, see the sentence that the Creator uttered against Israel for all their turpitude:

• Amo 6:14 -> “But behold, I will raise a nation up against you, O house of Israel, says the Lord, the God of Hosts. And they shall oppress you from the entrance to Hamath to the torrent of the Arabah.”.

Perhaps you will say: “but, and if the person is evil?”. It’s not up to us to judge (Mat 7:1-6):

• Rom 14:10 -> “Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;”.
• Joh 5:22 -> “For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son,”.

As you can see, only the Creator has the right to judge. Whoever do evil, regardless their reasons, will reap what they did (Gal 6:7-9):

• Col 3:25 -> “For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.”.

So, have a iridescent day caring for your heart so that it didn’t become contaminated by some bitter root (1Cor 10:12; Heb 12:15):

• 1Pe 3:8-12 -> “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; et him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
• Rom 12:19-21 -> “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”.
