The balance (2)

Ecclesiastes 7:17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

The wise man advice us not to be over much wicked.
You are over much wicked
1. When you are too rigid. Always saying, " rule is rule". You offended and you get punished. You may think you are doing right, but it may be too far. Drawing many enemies towards you. Don't die before your time.
2. When you are too rigid, you are always predictable in your dealings with people especially in the area of discipline and arresting/reporting criminals in your community/place of work etc. if they know when you hear about a particular matter you will react in a way and you reacted in the same way when you are told. Check it out, you have been labeled wicked.
3. When your outfit, your speech, your look suggest you are wicked. Though Hypocrisy is a sin, but you should learn not to be seen always wicked. A yahoo boy I was preaching to, fell sick and he was advised to cut his hair that was when he realized that the hair has a lot of head lice which was draining his blood cos of the dreadlocks. So he told me since he cut the hair, he could easily travel, pass through police check points without them harassing him. He said he won't dress like yahoo boy again.
4. When you are not rejoicing with who is rejoicing and weep with who is weeping. You may have your reasons, maybe you have offered your counsel and they rejected it that's why they are in that predicament. You still don't have to be calous.
5. When you always celebrate people's downfall.
Just to mention a few, cos we can still talk about joy killers, trouble mongers, evil news carriers etc. It's foolishness to be wicked over much. Try and feel for others. Be more loving and compassionate for others.

Challenge: avoid being call a wicked soul at all time.

Prayer: Oh Lord remove every trace of wickedness and foolishness in me.
