Have you noticed those laughing emojis that show up when we write about something serious and important? I have gone to the pages of those who mock us; they are clearly unsaved people the devil is using to intimidate us into silence.
What those mockers do not know is that their ridicule only strengthens us. We see it as an opportunity to become more loyal and committed to Christ than ever.
Don't be afraid of the mockers; they merely reveal their character and show us we are on the right path.
Foolilsh people lack good sense in noticing that mocking others does not change our character or stop us from doing what God has given us to do.
Proverbs 29:9-10 "…8 Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger. 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. 10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life."
Ecclesiastes 10:13 "The beginning of his talk is folly, and the end of his speech is evil madness."
Ecclesiastes 7:6 "For like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of the fool. This too is futile."
Matthew 7:6 "Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."
Count it all joy when others revile and mock you; it strengthens our resolve.
