Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. Proverbs 24:1 Many of us grew up hearing the statement that Cheaters never win. As we grew older, we discovered that the statement didnt always hold true. Sometimes cheaters seemingly do win. We saw cheaters proudly lifting up trophies or gaining promotions. We saw bad characters driving luxury cars and living in extravagant homes. The biggest rats in the rat race seemed to be winning! Seeds of cynicism may have tried to take root in our hearts. We were trying to do right, but we were losing out. Were we missing the boat? These types of thoughts can lead us, if we are not careful, to become envious of those people. We can easily be tempted to take moral shortcuts. We live in a sin-cursed world, so we need this biblical warning to stay away from evil and all its influence. This scripture passage warns us that cultivating friendship with evil people is a slippery slope. Some of these folks may seem to be winners, but lifes finish line is on the other side of death where we all face the Lord! The Lord who made us knows what will bring us the best life now and hereafter. Remember, the fastest rat in the rat race is still a rat. Stay away from rats.
