Vengence is His!

Good Morning! Psalm 37:8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret (worry) it leads only to evil. Let me ask you have you ever had someone do something to you, or tell a lie about you? Or maybe they are spreading rumors about you. Well if you are like me. Or maybe I should say like I used to be, you need to get something done about this. But you see it tells us in Rom 12:19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for Gods wrath. for it is written, It is mine to avenge; "I WILL REPAY" says the Lord. You see anger and vengeance are not of the LORD, they are from his enemy. In Vs 9 of Psalm 37 it says, For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope (trust) in the Lord will inherit the land. You see it doesn't matter what people say about you or do to you. As long as it is not physical, there is nothing they can do to you that the Lord cannot take care of. Something I learned a long time ago in my Recovery is, It doesn't matter what people say or think about you,what matters is you relationship and where you stand with God that matters. And when we get angry and try to repay people for things they do to us, we are no better than they are.when we get angry or try and get revenge on these people,we are no better than them. Again I go back to Rom 12:21 where it says, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. So today if someone is spreading rumors or being mean to you. Find some thing GOOD to do. Maybe find something good to do for them. For you never know when by an example of your good, you just might help one of these people who are wronging you, find the mercy and love of the Lord you have found. So today Refrain from anger and turn from wrath. It only lets Satan steal your joy. And remember Vengeance is His! HABD!
