Joy in Promoting Peace: Exploring Proverbs 12:20
Proverbs 12:20 states, "Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy." This verse contrasts the inner lives of two kinds of people: those who plot evil, filled with deceit, and those who seek to promote peace, who are blessed with joy. It highlights the moral choices we make and the consequences they bring, both internally and externally.
