OUR FATHER WHO SILENCES THOSE WHO SLANDER OTHERS AND RESISTS THE PROUD 

Psalm 101 verse 5 says this;

Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate.

This verse is an excerpt from a set of rules that king David prescribed for how his kingdom would be governed and by extension, they are the words of the Lord Jesus pertaining to the spiritual governance of His kingdom.

In the kingdom of God, slandering our neighbours by secretely diseminating false information about them is forbidden and will be discovered and silenced.

If any person in the kingdom of God develops a  haughty and proud attitude and looks down on others while seeing themselves as elevated, they will be resisted by the Lord. As the Book of James chapter 4 verse 6 says;

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Amen
