Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice,
or the LORD will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from him.
Proverbs 24:17-18
This is a reminder. Be careful about laughing at your enemies. The bible tells us that he will disapprove if we gloat. It is interesting to know that God vindicates us, yet He does not allow us to laugh at our enemy. This shows me that I am worshipping a God who is just, yet merciful. Being our Father, He teaches us to be like him too.
