Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. — Proverbs 10:6

Righteousness bestows immense rewards on us. Violence becomes its own heinous reward, delivering to those who employ it what it has brought to others. So, what are our options? Blessing or calamity? Is it encouragement or a bad mouth? So, what is the actual option? Allowing God to determine character rather than someone else.

Holy God, I want to the live the type of life that pleases you – a life of upright character and merciful compassion. Father, I want to bring your Kingdom and your grace to people. I want to make others recognize that violence is detrimental to themselves, to others, and even to the tiny ones. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
