Proverbs of a 41 yr. old man

Don't be a Judas. At work, at church, in family or your relationships. Now, people will talk about you behind your back, that's just human nature that we need to keep in check. Proverbs 7:21-22 Don't listen to everything that everyone says, or you might hear your servant cursing you. For you know how often you yourself have cursed others. Amen. But betrayal is deep darkness and destruction. Psalm 41:9 Even my closest friend whom I trusted, the one who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. Many in the last days will fall away, and they will betray one another, and will hate one another. Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Here is a famous quote "The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies." People close to you will betray and speak falsely about you. Ps. 54:12-14 For it is not an enemy who insults me— I could have handled that— nor is it someone who hates me and who now arises against me— I could have hidden myself from him— but it is you— a man whom I treated as my equal— my personal confidant, my close friend! We had good fellowship together; and we even walked together in the house of God! You must be ready in your heart to forgive and let God avenge. You must keep your integrity. Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. Matthew 26:48-50 The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss. Jesus said, “My friend, go ahead and do what you have come for.” Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. This is really maturity and faith: God uses betrayal. Don’t waste your suffering. Use your betrayal to share in the sufferings of Christ. 1 Peter 2:23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. There are six things the Lord hates,

seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Reflect in the Spirit how to keep far from these sins and not betray people in life. Let me give you a definition of betrayal to close: the act of betraying someone or something or the fact of being betrayed: violation of a person's trust or confidence, of a moral standard. Betrayal means "an act of deliberate disloyalty," like when your friend told other people all your secrets. What a betrayal! LORD forgive us.
