Thought of the Day

December 30, 2006

The Bible reminds us that when wicked people die, there is no joy in the heart of God for it.  Ezekiel 33:11 says quite pointedly: “Say to them, `As I live!’ declares the Lord GOD, `I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways!”  When we rejoice at the death of our enemy we grieve the heart of God.
