Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:6
Love does not rejoice in
unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.
Of all the attributes Paul describes, this one should be the easiest for those
of us who follow Christ. We should never rejoice in unrighteousness. Sin should
never be celebrated. As I write these words, I’m convicted—yet again. How often
do I watch a television show or movie that revels in sin? More often than I
care to admit.
Sin breaks the heart of my heavenly Father. It should do the same to mine. And
yet, I laugh it off as though it doesn’t matter. I, dare I say, rejoice in
unrighteousness.
Oh, as Paul would say, may that never be!
My rejoicing should only come when I see God work in lives. When I see people
make a stand for faith. When someone begins a relationship with Jesus. When people grow in faith. When they use their God-given gifts.
When truth wins out.
Only then I should plan a party and celebrate.
