    The world laughs itself to hell. Jokes, cartoons, comedians, sitcoms, parties, drunkenness, and mood-altering chemicals are the rage. Laughter is used to cover inward emptiness and deceive others that all is well. But the loneliness after such frivolity is crushing.Life is not amusing. Dying is a terrible prospect. Hell is not funny. A party or drunken folly cannot eliminate the painful reality of dysfunctional living, unfulfilled expectations, the certainty of death, and the possibility of eternal damnation. Men cannot do enough to forget their pain and trouble. When the laughter ends, the heart feels even heavier grief.What laughter has sorrow underneath? What mirth ends in heaviness? This cannot be the laughter and mirth of the righteous, for their happiness flows from a heart that is filled with contentment, hope, joy, and peace. The proverb must be dealing with the laughter of the wicked, who are described in the preceding and following proverbs (Pr 14:12,14).Consider a fool’s life. Solomon analyzed the best that life on earth can offer, and he summarized it all as vanity and vexation of spirit (Eccl 1:14). Life is too short; it never meets expectations; it is filled with trouble and sorrow; the soul is not content with any amount of anything; death is sweet compared to the judgment that follows (Ec 12:13-14).No wonder the world invented amusement parks. Musing is considering and thinking. To amuse is to replace those sober activities with frivolity and nonsense. So they spend a fortune to engage in folly to find fulfillment, but they must go to sleep that night knowing that it was an expensive and ridiculous diversion that did not work at all. They are empty.No matter what unbelievers say, they are unhappy. It is easy to tell. The ones with the best circumstances, the ones the world admires the most, have the greatest misery. Consider Hollywood’s so-called stars. Their sorry lives of divorce, suicide, drunkenness, drugs, and other symptoms of dysfunction tell the truth. They are empty, miserable, and searching. The Bible calls them “raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 1:13).When your heart is sorrowful for conviction, self-examination, or loss, turning to laughter is not the solution, for outward cackling or chuckling does no good for such a soul. In fact, Solomon said that singing songs to a man with a heavy heart is an act of cruelty (Pr 25:20). A convicted or troubled heart should find its comfort in God, not foolish laughter, for such false and pretended mirth will result in even greater sadness and disappointment. The author of “Amazing Grace” also wrote, “Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion’s children know.” Reader, do you know the truth of his words? Seek the God of heaven this day. Those who have tried both ways of living swear by the righteous life (Ps 73:25-26; Eccl 12:13-14).

    Be sure your sin will find you out! Moses first preached this warning, but Solomon repeated it here in this proverb (Nu 32:23). You cannot get away with sin. It will catch up to you and destroy you. Sinners are going down for sure. They cannot succeed. They will suffer. They think they are right, but they are heading toward death (Pr 14:12; 16:25). But righteousness will keep the godly man from being destroyed by the sinner’s folly.Righteousness is doing what is right and pleasing in God’s sight (Deut 6:25; Ps 45:7). It has nothing to do with your habits, preferences, or traditions. God does not care what the ACLU, PETA, or the PTA thinks on any subject (Is 8:20; I Tim 4:7). A good man is upright in the way – he journeys through life doing what is right. The Lord honors his righteousness by keeping him from the troubles and destruction He brings on sinners.Wickedness is rejecting God and doing things your way. This foolish choice will hurt you three ways – (1) a dysfunctional life now, (2) God’s judgment now, and then (3) eternal torment. Fear God and keep His commandments (Eccl 12:13-14). Solomon warned that a sinful lifestyle brings destruction (Pr 3:33; 11:3-6,19; 12:7; 13:20; 14:11,34).Lot made it to heaven. He was a just man (II Pet 2:7-8). But worldly compromise cost him dearly here on earth. His life was filled with misery and pain. He lost everything. His family’s dysfunction was tragic and terrible. Friendship with Sodom ruined his family. His sin overthrew his life, while righteousness kept Abraham very safe and prosperous.Joseph and David were both tempted by adultery. Joseph chose righteousness, so the Lord exalted him in Egypt. But David chose wickedness, so the Lord raised up enemies against him (II Sam 12:10-11). He married Bathsheba and had Solomon, but God chastened him for the rest of his life. You will reap what you sow (Pr 15:9; Ps 34:12-16).A rich man lived carelessly and extravagantly – playing with sin. A destitute beggar suffered at his gate, wishing for just a little of the rich man’s food and comfort. Sin eventually overthrew the rich man, and he woke up in hell a nanosecond after dying. But the angels of God carried the righteous beggar to heaven forever (Luke 16:19-31).Reader, you will make choices when you finish these comments. Will you choose righteousness or wickedness? Are you compromising anywhere in your life? Do you enjoy the world? Your future is dark without hope, if you choose wickedness. Be sure your sin will find you out. Your future is bright and glorious, if you choose righteousness.

    What do you think about? Your thoughts prove your real character. Others may not know your thoughts, but God does (Heb 4:12), and He will treat you accordingly. Are you righteous or wicked in your thoughts? Even the thought of foolishness is sin (Pr 24:9).The difference between the righteous and wicked is enormous – with great consequences for this life and the next (Pr 3:33; 10:7; 11:31; 12:21; 14:11; 15:8,29; 24:19-20; Ps 58:1-11; 112:1-10; Matt 25:31-46). You are one or the other: you make the choice every day.Where does this difference originate? In the thoughts and counsels of the heart! Solomon in this proverb made a simple observation, but it is your privilege to learn the lesson. Righteousness or wickedness begins in the thoughts, and so you should rule all of them.Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life (Pr 4:23). “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil” (Lu 6:45).The heart is the source of emotions, but it is also the source of motives and choices, for you choose what you desire and love. Therefore, you must rule and teach your heart to love things that are right and to hate those things that are evil (Pr 8:13; Ps 119:128).But there is a problem – a terrible problem! Because of inherited wickedness from Adam, the father of all men, your heart is corrupt and perverse (Pr 20:9). It is written, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jer 17:9).The only hope you have is God’s mercy in Jesus Christ, Who gives new hearts to His elect and writes His laws in them and in their minds (Je 31:33; Heb 8:10; 10:26). Without this new creation, your heart is at war against God (Pr 28:26; Gen 6:5; Mark 7:20-23).The thought of foolishness is sin (Pr 24:9), and it leads to sin (Jas 1:13-16). The wicked think about sin often, without thoughts of God (Ps 10:4; 36:4; Mic 2:1). They fantasize about adultery (Pr 6:25); they scorn correction (Pr 26:16); they devise evil (Pr 6:18).The righteous meditate on the law of God and right things (Ps 1:1-3; 119:97). They are committed to doing what is right in the sight of God. When they fall and sin, they confess their folly, repent of their wickedness, and pursue God yet again (I Jn 1:9; Rom 7:14-23).Do you hate and resent the world’s bad thinking, false ideas, and wrong opinions? Do you trust God’s word and love the truth and wisdom found there? God hates and resents the world’s thoughts (Ps 94:11; Pr 15:26; Rom 1:19-27). David said, “I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love” (Ps 119:113). He also said, “Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way” (Ps 119:128).What should you do? Confess sinful thoughts (Ps 51:10)! Beg God to search your thoughts (Ps 19:14; 139:23-24). Ask Him to incline your heart to good things (Ps 86:11; 119:36; 141:4). Fill your mind with His words, good preaching, and good music (Luke 4:4; Ac 17:11; Col 3:16). Choose to transform all your thinking (Ro 12:1-2; Ep 4:22-24).What else should you do? Remember that the world’s thoughts and counsels are corrupt and wicked. The world lies to you every day. The more you listen or watch, the more lies you believe. If you like their ideas, you are deceived. The inputs you daily allow through ears and eyes will lead you either to thoughts of truth and wisdom or of lies and folly.The world thinks disrespecting parents is okay, fornication is only casual sex, abortion is a woman’s right, foolish talking is funny, drunkenness can be cool, labor unions are needed against owners, short hair and skirts on girls are chic, attending church is only if convenient, same-sex marriages are fine, and countless other insane and wicked ideas.
