A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. Proverbs 25:26
King James Version (KJV)
Here we go again, well let me start off right away with this thought, it is not good to fall down at all, and especially not in front of the wicked man. So, we all really need to be extremely careful not to yield to temptation. Therefore, we all need to remember saved or not saved, that we all are human and subject to fall at any moment in time.
To explain this scripture, let us use an example, that comes to mind. For instance, let us say that you like to drink wine, okay. First of all, you are human and you are saved, which means you are a Christian, and if you pass away, you should go to heaven. Second place, because you are human, you want a drink of wine to relax your nerves. Thirdly, you know that sometimes you don't act right when you drink. Now, what should you do, so you don't end up falling down before the wicked? I' m glad you asked.
Okay, for starters, all of us, and me included, should go away and have the drink of wine; however, do not drink the wine in front of anybody. Drink the wine all by yourself, away from falling down in front of the wicked or the saved. Personally, me myself, I really don't think GOD cares about you calming your nerves down, relaxing, or letting your hair down by drinking a glass or two of wine; just as long as you don't cause someone to be confused about getting to GOD or heaven.
