Rejoice not when your enemy falls.

I remember many times when I would think about the destruction of the wicked and the judgement of God with much gladness. On one hand, we know that everything God does is good and just, and this includes His vengeance. Maybe there is a time to rejoice. When enemies fall, Jesus is often exalted.

Other times, I wonder if the misinterpretations areContinue reading “Which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind.”
