Proverbs 28

Verse 14 speaks volumes to me. When I encounter repeated offenses, toward me or toward others, I am tempted to throw up my hands and say; "I don't care." But this proverbs rebukes that demand of the flesh. Hardening my heart does not produce healing or harmony. It leads to more evil. My response to sin, either originating in me or being visited on me, should be the same; to reject the actions of sin and pursue the actions of God's righteous. I can't accomplish that on my own. Only God's Spirit working in me will produce such actions.
