Really a victory?

Proverbs 24:17 “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice.” When you or I are successful be joyful yet have compassion on the one who suffers.  Rejoicing over someone else’s failure is a precursor to one’s own failure.  Working hard while encouraging others to also work hard should be all of our goals.  Gloating is never a character trait of a Christian.
