The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips. But the righteous will come through trouble. Proverbs 12:13

You know them, they live within your community; in your neighborhood, work, maybe even your home. They cause trouble all the time and make life difficult for you. Although you dare not judge, deep inside you know they are driven with evil intentions and sometimes they use you as their target. 

Living with and amongst them may be difficult, but God assures us in today's scripture that you will come through the difficulties they put you through. The key is not to fall prey to their evil tactics, but to show them the love of Christ, through His strength and power to overcome. Yes, it may be difficult, but necessary so they can see a shimmer of light into their dark life. 

Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

God calls His followers to love and pray for those who inflict their evilness on you. It's the only true Christian way to respond. Target the one person who comes to mind and pray for them, that God will use you to lighten the darkness of evil that has them blinded to the truth and love of Christ.
