We sometimes lose sight of the promise of hope in Christ Jesus. This gift of life is not to just a few but a gift offered to everyone. If we want our neighbor to succeed, if we want our nation to prosper, if we want God in our world…seek good not evil! Pray for those who you do not know the loving kindness of the Father in their life and the peace that only comes from Him. If God loved the world enough to give His only begotten Son to offer salvation…who are we to hate His creation.
We love others because He first loved us.
The Book of Proverbs is more than a collection of “tips and tricks.” It passes on a core of knowledge and experience that God says we must have if we are to live successfully. These proverbs are not merely old sayings that concern people in far-off lands, but universal principles that apply to all people of all times. They speak to modern problems as much as to ancient ones because they concern human nature and God’s ways. Human nature has not changed since Solomon’s time; neither has God’s. Only the landscape around us has changed.The NKJV Study Bible.

But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.
28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness, But the expectation of the wicked will perish.
Proverbs 10:28
8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,
Romans 2:8
9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;
Romans 2:9
