Bible Verse of The Day – 10-12-18

Romans 12:19 (NKJV) 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

Do we feel the need to get people back?

If someone has deliberately done something against us, do we want to fix them, see them punished in some way? If so, then we have a problem.

The real problem is that we don’t trust God to handle it. We don’t feel He is capable of helping them in the area they need help.

Yes, it seems like some people never want to change. They don’t want help, and they may stay the way they are for the rest of their lives.

However, we all come to the end someday and we stand before our God, no matter who we are. So, understand it is not just about here on earth that we deal with our choices and the things we do.

We have to answer for them when we leave this place. So those that may think they are getting away with doing terrible things to others are not being realistic. One way or another, we will all answer to God for it.

We don’t need to take things into our own hands. It’s best to move on and let it go. Enjoy life and don’t let it mess with our emotions one more day.

Trust Him. He knows best, and His arm is far-reaching.

Isaiah 59:1 (NKJV) 59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.

Tell Him our concerns. Give it to Him and walk away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-17-14

(Hebrews 10:30 NKJV)  For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The LORD will judge His people.”

When something happens in our lives and we feel hurt, there is only one way to get through it and that one way is to immediately give it to God.

How do we give it to Him? We start by admitting to God that what they did hurt. Let Him know that we are having a hard time letting go of what they did. Ask God to help us to work it out within ourselves so that we can be free from it.

Holding on to what others have done to us is only going to hurt and constantly torment us.

We don’t need to wait and watch for someone to get what we think they deserve before we can let go of the situation. We need to let go of it before it affects us even deeper.

Live your life today. God says vengeance is not ours, but His.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-14

Proverbs 15:3 (NKJV) The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.

There isn’t a single thing that gets past God.

No matter what happens, when it happens or where it happens, God’s eyes see it and His ears hear it.

Some might think of this and use it to hold Christians accountable for their behavior. This is, of course, true. We should always be aware of what we’re doing and whether it’s pleasing to God or not.

But did you know that we also need to understand this when it comes to the things that others do?

There is a lot of evil in the world. Nobody can deny this. The world becomes more vile as each year passes. Thievery, deception… these are just a couple of the things that we see a lot of and which are on the rise. Everyone reading this has probably been stolen from or deceived in one way or another.

Some us have been hurt very badly by this kind of activity, suffering loss of money or material things. And others have been hurt badly by deception, suffering emotionally, sometimes for a very long time.

But know this; The eyes of God are in every place. Nothing is hidden from Him. Not even these things that have caused you harm or loss.

The important thing to understand is that when things happen to us, we are not to return evil for evil. So if you’re holding onto something that has happened to you and wondering how you can get back at that person, let it go.

It’s not easy to do, but let it go. It is not up to us to seek revenge. Vengeance is God’s. He will be the one to judge all people and He will be the one to avenge your loss and your pain.

Romans 12:19 (NKJV) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

So rest in Him, knowing that He sees all things and that all things are in His hands.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-16-12

(Rom 12:19 NKJV)  Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

During the last several months, God has been trying to teach me about this verse. Notice I said “trying” to teach me?

We have walked through some tests and trials during the last several months, especially when it comes to personal attacks coming from people that we know personally. I know that the enemy is using these people, but I have to admit that there have been moments when I have had a little bit of a hard time keeping myself from wanting to take matters into my own hands and getting in their faces.

As a husband and a father, I have a fiercely-protective side of me that I am learning to restrain in certain situations. It’s not been an easy thing for me, but God is teaching me a lot through all of this.

I have also learned that there are times when people just simply don’t want to work out disagreements, no matter how badly you want to. So most times it really is better to just put some things aside and move on, letting God handle it for you.

Despite the fact that it often looks like the bad guys always win, God keeps reminding me that the “victories” that the bad guys seem to have are only temporary and are taking place in a temporal world, whereas He gives us victory for eternity.
