Do not rejoice over your enemy's fall

Proverbs 24:17-18 Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles or is overthrown,18 Lest the Lord see it and it be evil in His eyes and displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him [to expend it upon you, the worse offender].

When King Saul was slain, David and his men rented their clothes, mourned and fasted. King Saul had chased David many times to kill him but yet David had mourned at Saul's death. Why?

Although King Saul was disobedient and was rejected by God, he was still God's anointed as David had said. Yes, we see many ministries going in error and astray. And I see so many Christians judging them thus bringing themselves judgment.

David had cried at the death of King Saul because David knew he had lost a brother. Although this brother had come to kill him, David still loved him. This brother was lost to hell. If your immediate brother, sister, father, or mother died, would you not be mourning just because? When our brothers and sisters in Christ fall away or die in their sins, why do so many of us rejoice of their fall? Be wise, every man is created in the image of God. It is not your place to rejoice when they fall. It may not your place to speak against authorities whether religious or secular. Your place is to be praying for one another and for all as we have been called to be peacemakers. And heaven is for peacemakers and not those who strife with one another.
