Day 281 Envy The Wise | Proverbs 24:1-4

Send us Fan MailEnvy The Wise 1Don’t envy evil people     or desire their company.2 For their hearts plot violence,     and their words always stir up trouble.3 A house is built by wisdom     and becomes strong through good sense.4 Through knowledge its rooms are filled     with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.Verses 1 and 2 warn us not to be jealous of evil people. Why would anyone envy them? Because sometimes it seems like wicked people are successful. The proverb doesn’t say it directly, but it implies that in the end, God will punish wickedness.Verses 3 and 4 highlight how much understanding, wisdom, and knowledge from God can achieve. While evil might win for a moment, God’s wisdom builds things that are beautiful, useful, and long-lasting.Think about this: Not too long ago, some car engineers figured out how to cheat emissions tests to save money on design costs. Management found out but didn’t report it because they were making a lot of money. This went on for years until independent tests exposed the cheating. The people involved wanted quick success in a corrupt company, but in the end, the company paid billions in recalls and fines, and the cheaters lost their jobs.If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth.
