Say not thou, I will recompense; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Vengeance is an awful and painful way to respond to those whom we feel have wronged us. The Lord is our assurance of just rewards. Leave it to him. Escalating vindictiveness only leads to broken people and to broken lives. Worse yet, it leads to broken character.

My Prayer...

Through your Spirit, Abba Father, please empower me to be patient for you to right injustices committed against me. Please help me to be more concerned about the salvation of those who may have wronged me than I am about getting even. Please give me more of a heart like your Son, Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
