Proverbs 21:15 (Oct.07)
“It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.”
Dear Journal,
After reading proverbs 21:15 I understand that Ecclesiastes was taking about great men and great women. That is, great Christian’s are passionate and zealous about doing what is right and they did it with joy and justice. Although, I am of the view that not only Christians should these have characters. We all should do things that are right because it brings us and others joy. We should ask ourselves, what would we do sometimes when we need someone to cheer us up but no one is there? That’s why I believe that no matter what the circumstance is we are to do the right thing because we might just be the light that someone is looking for. Also, from this text, in other hands the wicked men choose to do evil, and God destroy them. That is, if we continue to do things that are wrong, and choose not to learn form it, then there will be a day that we do not get the chance to right these wrongs. Therefore, we should learn from our mistakes and try our best not to repeated them, so that we won’t be destroy by our Lord. As it relates to my personal life and professional life, I try my best not to do anything wrong that would cause anyone harm or sadness or even myself. Though there are times when I do not necessary aim to cause sadness but that is what happens, nevertheless, I apologize for doing such acts, as well as try my at most best not to repeat the act or voice the statement again. For my professional life there maybe times when I may offend my colleagues then and there, I am supposed to do the right thing, and apologize. Also, in my professional life there maybe a time when I maybe offered bribe, however I should know that this is where the latter part of the text comes in, that is, though it may not be God that will destroy me for the wrong here, it will be my superior. It may result in a job loss. So not all time we so should do what is right regardless of the outcome.
