Friends,
Over and over, we see people celebrated and honored, only to learn that they are weak, perverted and immoral. Celebrities are credited with the most noble of motives, even though their actions betray their intentions as self-serving and selfish.
It's easy to get caught up in their celebrity and covet it. It's tempting to compromise our beliefs in order to curry favor with the popular way of thinking.
Do not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;
For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD,
But His secret counsel is with the upright.
Proverbs 3:31-32 [NKJV]
Throughout scripture, our Heavenly Father describes His hatred of those who oppress the poor, the widow and the orphan. In short, He reserves great anger for those who use their strength to abuse those who are weaker. Brothers and sisters, do not envy the man who does this, for you are envying an enemy of God.
Instead, stay focused on righteousness. Seek it with all your heart. In doing so, you will unlock the great and deep mysteries of holiness, justice, peace, faith and love.
Be encouraged, Jose
