Proverbs 28:4
They that
forsake the law praise the wicked:
but such as keep the law contend with them.
As
followers of the Lord, we should love the law.
The law keeps order and represents authority. As we submit ourselves to the law we actually
contend with the wicked. Have you ever felt that this world’s wickedness was
almost suffocating and you were helpless in such a battle? Here we see one way we can actually contend
with the wicked. We can keep the law and
submit ourselves to it. We may think
that showing the waitress they left an item off our bill is quite insignificant
but, in fact, we are battling the wicked by upholding truth. We may think that slowing down in a school
zone is just protecting us from a ticket but, in fact, we are contending with
the wicked. Righteousness shines and our
deeds ought to shine in such a way that men end up giving glory to our Father
in heaven. Contend with the wicked!
