Devotional for Thursday Jul 01, 2010:
Judgment Is God’s Job
|
Wait for the LORD,
and he will make things right.
Proverbs 20:22
Some of you are in the courtroom. The courtroom of complaint. Some of you are rehashing the same hurt every chance you get with anyone who will listen.
For you, I have this question: Who made you God? I don’t mean to be cocky, but why are you doing his work for him?
”Vengeance is Mine,” God declared. “I will repay” (Heb. 10:30 NKJV.)
Judgment is God’s job. To assume otherwise is to assume God can’t do it.
Revenge is irreverent…. To forgive someone is to display reverence. Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is stating that God is faithful and he will do what is right.
