Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,How many times have we indulged in "serves him right?" We see something happen to someone we don't like, and smirk a little bit. We are glad that they had a mischief, because they're wrong, and this is just that little bit extra to show it. I'm not talking about actual punishment for wrongdoing, just those little things that happen "by chance."
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
However, what are are we really celebrating? Probably just random chance, and the same exact thing could happen to us tomorrow. I've always felt it's a mistake to put God's direct action onto most things that happen in the world (not saying He doesn't directly intervene, but I think it's a lot less frequent that some believe).
