Tempted to Envy Evildoers?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who might be tempted to envy and associate with evildoers.
Criminals can develop a reputation.
Some misguided individuals will actually idolize these bad people.
I once knew a man who had been an undercover police officer. His job was to aid in the arrest and conviction of criminals.
Proverbs 24:1-2 (ESV) warns against envying and even wanting to “hang out” evil ones.
“Be not envious of evil men,
nor desire to be with them,
for their hearts devise violence,
and their lips talk of trouble.”
Don’t envy evil ones and stay away from them. If are in proximity to someone who is evil, take action to flee.
