Proverbs is packed with do's and don'ts. I was reading proverbs 14 and it was a very long list of what consequences certain things bring. Verse 22 especially caught my attention, it says that those who plan evil always #fail, but those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness. In a previous post I mentioned the "eye for an eye" , that Jesus likes us to calm down and let him handle things instead of answering for ourselves, or plotting evil. We as humans like 'revenge' or making others eat a spoonful of their own chocolate. As we plot evil though, we are sowing evil and we reap what we sow. This is why in the verse it says that whoever plots evil will fail,or go astray. We should sow good to reap good. I want to do good so that I reap love and faithfulness. Again Jesus is telling me to let him handle things and behave well.
