Proverbs 24:1

"Do not be envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them; for their minds devise violence and their lips talk of trouble."
This proverb is good warning for everyone to take into account in their daily lives. We see things on tv and in the media that show people in a way that encourages us to envy what they have and instills the desire to be with them. We put forth people as heroes that never would have merited that moniker before. Yet at their heart, they are evil because they are enemies of God just as we were at one time until we experienced the grace of God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our culture constantly puts for evil as good and seems to make good things evil. We have gotten things so upside down. We need to keep this in mind, that evil men devise violence (which is all over tv and movies) and their lips constantly talk of trouble. Be on guard against envy of evil men because in the end they are still under the judgment of God because of their sin. Pray for them and guard your mind.
