What Does the Bible Say About Vengeance?
Has a justified tug-a-war taken your joy, focus, and energy? Sometimes you have to let go of the rope to see God make it right. Often this does not seem “fair,” or it can feel like “letting go” is letting go of justice. But nothing is further than the truth.
God loves justice, but he wants you to do it his way, which means releasing your right to retaliate. Wise women let go of the fight to see God make things right.
What or whom are you fighting to make things fair? Where do you want to “win”?
In today’s episode, discover how to fight injustice with God’s battle plan as we dive into part four of our summer series, What Does it Mean to Forgive?
The truth is when we try to make things right on our own instead of making room for God’s justice, we can fight God instead of allowing him to fight for us. Letting go of your right to retaliate does not mean you are letting go of justice, although it can feel that way. But when we fight with forgiveness, God fights for us, and we are free. Courage to surrender to God’s battle plan of forgiveness comes by gaining His perspective through worship, prayer, and vision.
It’s time to sow into the solution by resting under God’s strategy and see victory.
