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 – 11-27-14

1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 (NKJV) 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Give thanks in everything.

Think about those words. And no, this isn’t a message geared toward giving thanks because it’s the Thanksgiving Holiday in the USA, although it would seem fitting.

Instead, let’s take a quick look at something else about these verses that many of us have probably never seen before.

As I was reading through this, God showed me the first sentence, “see that no one renders evil for evil”, and then He showed me the beginning of that last sentence, “in everything give thanks”.

And He showed me that the key to doing that first part, not rendering evil for evil, is actually found in doing the second part, giving thanks in everything.

You see, if someone does evil to us, our first reaction in the flesh is figuring out how we can get back at that person.

But if we use God’s wisdom, and we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we won’t be caught up in revenge. Instead, we will give thanks for our blessings and let God sort out the rest.

No, it won’t always be easy. And there will be times when we might miss the mark and say or do something that’s not righteous. But as we grow and mature as a believer, we will  get this, and those times when we lose it and lash out should become less and less frequent.

So today, if someone mistreats us or does us wrong, let’s stop and remember what God has commanded us to do. Give thanks in everything!
