“Ensnared or Rejoicing”
Blessing folk!
Throughout the Proverbs we see the juxtaposition between good and evil, the righteous and the wicked.
We do well to give heed.
It is easy to stray away from righteousness.
Pro 29:6
An evil man is ensnared in his transgression,
but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
ESV
The evil will ultimately be ensnared in their evil…their wickedness…their transgressions.
The Righteous?
A righteous man sings.
A righteous man rejoices.
Sings about what?
Rejoices in?
The Word of the Lord tells us…
Psa 97:11
Light is sown for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
ESV
Psa 118:15
Glad songs of salvation
are in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,
ESV
The Righteous sing of salvation!
The Righteous rejoices in salvation!
Regardless of circumstance…
Jas 1:2
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
ESV
Though we see in a mirror darkly…
1 Pe 1:8
Though you have not seen him, you love him.
Though you do not now see him,
you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,
ESV
Believe!
Love Him!
Sing!
Rejoice!
Be filled with His glory!
