Proverbs 3:25 says, Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.  Just as we were told that we could sleep without fear, or in peace, here we are told to live without fear of the things of this world.  Once more we are not told that the desolation of the wicked may come, but that it will.  Through our faith in Christ though, we should never become suddenly overcome with fear of anything in this world.  Verse twenty-six states, For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.  When confronted with the evil of the world, we are told that our confidence should be in God.  When we live by faith, God will keep our souls safe forever, so there is no need to fear whatever happens in this life.  Verse twenty-seven says  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.   We are to do what is best for others whenever we can.  Christianity is not a selfish religion that claims that somehow those who are Christians deserve more of the things of this world than other people do.  We are called to reach out to the world with the love of God.  Verse twenty-eight says, Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.  We are told to help our neighbor today if we have the ability to do so.  We are not to just put them off with a promise of what we will do for them tomorrow.  Verse twenty-nine states, Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.  Having just been called on to help our neighbors,  we are now warned to not devise ways to harm them.  When we allow greed and materialism to rule our lives, we will too often think only of ways to gain more of the things of the world, even if our neighbors are harmed in the process.  We cannot serve God simply for our own material benefit.  Verse thirty advises, Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.  Some people seem to simply have a hard time getting along with anyone, but we are told not to be that way.  We are not to fight with our neighbors simply because they may be hard to get along with.  I believe that even if they have done us harm that we are still to reach out to them with the love of God.  Verse thirty-one says, Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.  We are never to be envious of anyone, especially those who have become rich through the oppression of others.  We are to choose the way of God instead, which calls us to want what is best for others.  Verse thirty-two says, For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.  Those who put themselves first in everything are an abomination to God.  They refuse to hear His call and follow His leadership.  Verse thirty-three states,The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.  I do not believe that this refers to material things, but to spiritual things.  A poor person who follows God is spiritually blessed and at peace in the world, whereas those who deny God will never be satisfied, because something is missing spiritually.  Verse thirty-four says, Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.  Those who scorn, or deny and ridicule God will likewise be scorned by God.  Those who are lowly, or humble themselves before God, will be given God's grace.  The choice is up to the individual.  Verse thirty-five declares, The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.  The wise are those who accept Christ as their Savior and Lord, and the foolish are those who reject Him.  The wise inherit glory.  They do not earn it, but it is theirs by their being born again into the kingdom of God.  The fool is some who has said in his or her heart that there is no God, and eternal punishment is that person's choice.  There is no neutral ground with a person's relationship to God.
